I was someone who said this. We all would say. I would do anything for my kids. Right. And a lot of us say. I would do anything for my family. I would die for my kids. I mean. I thought that way... How about you live for your kids? How about you live for them instead? How about you live for your family instead?
Holidays like the Fourth of July often bring to mind barbecues, fireworks, and, for many, a cooler full of drinks. For Dan Karaty, however, these festive occasions were once just another excuse to indulge in alcohol. In this episode of 'If I'm Being Honest', Dan takes a hard look at his past behaviors and the lessons he was inadvertently teaching his children.
He opens up about how every event became an opportunity to drink, casting a shadow over what should have been joyful family moments. Reflecting on his journey from addiction to sobriety, Dan shares how he transformed his approach to celebrations. Instead of reaching for a drink, he now prioritizes spending quality time with his family and engaging in healthier activities.
He poignantly questions what kind of example he was setting for his kids and emphasizes the importance of 'living' for them rather than just being willing to 'die' for them. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that our choices have lasting impacts on those we love.
Dan's candid storytelling not only sheds light on his personal growth but also serves as an invitation for listeners to re-evaluate their own habits and make positive changes for the sake of their loved ones.
