What happens when the person you love most is also the one struggling with alcohol? In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery Happy Hour', host Tricia Lewis sits down with John to discuss his journey towards sobriety and how it reshaped his marriage. John opens up about the challenges he faced in admitting he had a drinking problem, the fear that came with seeking help, and the ultimate relief of finding a new way to live.
His story is one of resilience, love, and the power of change. John talks about how alcohol was his escape from daily stress, but also how it became a barrier between him and his family. By embracing sobriety, he found new ways to cope—like yoga, reading self-improvement books, and listening to podcasts—that not only helped him stay sober but also enriched his life.

He shares candidly about his initial resistance to AA and how he eventually found value in various recovery resources, including Smart Recovery and The Recovery Elevator Podcast. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone grappling with alcohol addiction or supporting a loved one through their recovery.
It's a reminder that while the road to sobriety can be tough, the rewards—like stronger relationships and a clearer sense of purpose—are well worth it. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the transformative power of love and sobriety.
