About this listen

Adversity is the common thread throughout the lives of all living human beings. This human condition can either make us or break us. Nothing great comes easy and it's the overcoming of adversity that makes us who we are. Living by the ethos Suffering is THE way to sustainable success and the path to greatness. Always remember Mike Failace.

    Part 2

    A special animated reboot all the way back from Episode 65 and 66 of The Suffering Podcast. Bobby is back to talk about his impactful journey back from the depths of despair and alcoholism.

    On this powerful episode of The Suffering Podcast, Kevin P. Donaldson and Mike Failace sit down with Bobby Crudele, a man who has walked through the fire of addiction and fought his way back into the light. Bobby’s story is raw, honest, and unfiltered—an inside look at the devastating grip of alcoholism and the courageous climb toward recovery.

    From the first drink that started it all to the darkest moments that nearly cost him everything, Bobby opens up about the pain, the denial, the broken relationships, and the nightly battles that many people never see. But he also shares something even more important—the hope. The turning point. The moment he chose life over destruction.

    This episode is not just about addiction… it’s about redemption. It’s about choosing to rise. It's about proving that no matter how far you fall, you are never too far gone to turn your life around.
