Summary

Ryan Hedrick sits down with Daryl Gilmer, a recovering addict with 11 years clean and a story that speaks for itself. From fighting to keep and raise his son to figuring out what it really means to be a present father, Daryl brings a real, grounded perspective on parenting in recovery.

The conversation stays honest and practical using your past as a tool, not something to run from, and how showing up with love can actually change lives. Ryan also shares his own experience stepping into fatherhood and not always knowing what to do with that kind of responsibility and blessing.

They get into what surrender really means beyond just the word, and how it shows up in daily life. Daryl also talks about being in the role of a caregiver while staying solid in his own recovery, which adds another layer to his journey.

It’s a straightforward conversation about growth, responsibility, and what recovery can really look like over time.
