D Jay McGrath grew up with one thing in mind, making it from a small town in Saskatchewan to the NHL. At 15 when D Jay moved away from home for the first time to play in a bigger hockey market, he could feel the pressure of hockey and being away from home. D Jay would start out with drinking and smoking . As the years went on, the pressure became much more than D-Jay could handle. From far, he was a small town hero with so many people looking up to him for his success on the ice. Things would snowball and D Jay found himself in a live or die situation. On June 6, 2022 D Jay was overwhelmed with the suicidal thoughts of keeping all of his struggles to himself. On that day, everything would change as he made an unexpected trip to his parents' house. This is D Jay’s story on the sober motivation podcast.
