The Willpower Podcast
Recorded August 24, 2026 | Episode Coming Soon
David Garcia joined host Will Gordon for a candid conversation about alcoholism, relapse, fatherhood, rebuilding trust, and the work of creating a meaningful life after addiction.
The discussion explored David’s years of hidden drinking, the moment involving his six-year-old daughter that became the basis for Olive Oil, why that moment was not enough by itself to create lasting change, and what ultimately became different in recovery.
They also talked about accountability, the impact addiction has on family relationships, what sobriety does and does not repair, and the distinction between getting sober and learning how to live afterward.
The conversation concluded with David’s books, Olive Oil and Living After, and how writing became part of making sense of recovery, fatherhood, identity, and life beyond the immediate crisis.
Episode release details will be added when available.
