After serving 10 years in the US Army, I faced significant challenges with alcohol that began in high school and escalated during my military career. It wasn’t until July 2020, after a heartfelt ultimatum from my family, that I decided to quit drinking and focus on building a healthier life. With the support of my family, friends, and weekly therapy, I’ve maintained sobriety ever since. Now married for 17 years with an incredible 16-year-old son, I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned. I’m passionate about sharing my story and helping others navigate their journeys toward sobriety and self-improvement.
