Host Brad Shreve takes us on a wild ride as he shares his personal story of love, addiction, abuse, and ultimately finding himself. From a life fueled by drugs, alcohol, sexual addition, to facing domestic violence, Brad opens up about the challenges he faced and the difficult decisions he had to make. But this episode isn't just about the dark times. Brad reminds us that amidst the negativity, there are powerful stories of resilience and triumph within the LGBTQ+ community.
Every scar tells a story, and Brad's are written across the pages of Brad's life. Join him as he bears his soul. Hear about the devastating effects of hiding his sexuality, finding any means to mask it, and his tumultuous journey to self-discovery. He eventually found stability and started anew, metaphorically throwing off his old persona and embracing who he truly is.
