⚓Ep74: Matt Gardiner: Breaking the Cycle of Addiction
In this episode of The Begin Again Podcast, host Gary Menkes sits down with Matt Gardiner, a former musician turned recovery coach, to discuss Matt’s powerful journey from addiction to a life of purpose and transformation.
Matt opens up about his early experiences with alcohol, influenced by a culture that glamorized drinking within his family and the music industry. His struggles led to a devastating hospitalization at 27 and years of attempting to moderate his drinking. Matt shares how hitting rock bottom, losing his father to similar struggles, and making a commitment to break the cycle of addiction in his family ultimately drove him toward recovery.
During the conversation, Matt and Gary explore the vital role of mindset shifts and creating new habits in maintaining sobriety. Matt also discusses how he turned the Covid-19 lockdown into a period of self-reflection, which led him to leave his long-term job and pursue his calling as a sobriety coach.
