I've been really fortunate that I've had a lot of really diverse careers and some really amazing people in my life, but it doesn't mean that sobriety was easy. I don't think it is.
Adam's story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up, Adam faced fears that seemed ordinary until he looked back later in life.
