THE IA GUY

FROM BLACKOUTS TO REDEMPTION: A Cop’s Raw Battle with Alcoholism!
Join host Marlon Marrache on the IA GUY A Police Podcast as he dives into an unforgettable episode featuring Gustavo, a seasoned LAPD officer whose journey from alcohol-fueled chaos to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. With three alcohol-related incidents, including a dramatic arrest, Gustavo faced suspensions, demotion, and the brink of termination. Nicknamed the "Century Man" for over 100 days of suspension, he shares how he overcame shame, embraced accountability, and transformed his life to help over 150 officers find sobriety. A powerful tale of resilience, faith, and paying it forward in the face of personal and professional storms. #police #copstories #cops #lawenforcement #crime #policeofficer #internalaffairs #policeforce #podcast #lapd Marlon's Info: Website: https://www.bluconsultinginc.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iaguypodcast/?hl=en Linked IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlon-marrache/ Gustavo's Info: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gustavo.marroquin.756 Time Stamp: 1:03 Peruvian Pride on Independence Day 2:50 From Architect Dreams to LAPD Passion 14:21 First Alcohol-Related Incident 20:51 Hitting Rock Bottom: 2005 Blackout Crash 25:48 Arrested by Glendale PD in 2007 45:52 Surviving the Board of Rights 54:59 The Century Man’s Redemption 57:41 Paying It Forward in Addiction Prevention. 1:07:33 Heartbreaking Loss to Alcoholism
