I, I don't have any spectacular, you know, rock bottom car in the ditch, spent the night in the jail cell, um, story that kind of shook me to, to quitting. But alcohol was always around in our household. It was with us at, you know, celebrations, vacations, sad times, good times, every time in between...
Ever felt trapped in a cycle where you look fine on the outside but are struggling within? In this heartfelt episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', Todd, a well-known attorney from Omaha, opens up about his complicated relationship with alcohol. Despite his successful career and seemingly perfect life, Todd was a classic gray area drinker. He was constantly battling the grip of alcohol, feeling frustrated by his inability to control it and the mental toll it took on him.
Todd tried nearly 50 different ways to moderate his drinking but found himself back at square one each time. The turning point came during a family trip to Arizona. A moment of clarity hit him hard, making him realize how his drinking was affecting not just himself but also his loved ones. This epiphany led Todd to finally give up alcohol for good.
His story isn't about hitting rock bottom; it's about recognizing the slow burn of alcohol dependency and choosing a path to true sobriety. Through candid reflections and practical advice, Todd's journey offers hope and inspiration for anyone caught in the gray area of drinking.
