David Mahler
Ground Zero Recovery

Overcoming personal challenges and tragedy, David Mahler has transformed his life experiences into a beacon of hope for those struggling with substance use disorder. Raised in Brooklyn without a father figure, he succumbed to the lure of drugs early on, despite maintaining a semblance of normalcy through school and work. His career as a foreign currency broker was marred by the traumatic events of 1993 and 9/11 at the World Trade Center, leading to the impactful name of his practice, "Ground Zero".

It was the battle with substance abuse in his own family, particularly his daughter Dana's struggles, that propelled him into the realm of recovery coaching. After years of supporting Dana through numerous rehabs and embracing his own healing within community groups, he became a certified addiction recovery coach, fueled by his faith and the painful loss of Dana to fentanyl poisoning.

David will share with us ways to spot and help those in need of recovery support for their substance abuse.
