Give yourself or someone you love the gift of a better life. - Dan
The holiday season is often portrayed as a time of joy and celebration, but for many, it's a period fraught with challenges. In this heartfelt episode of 'If I'm Being Honest', Dan Karaty takes us on a personal journey through his struggles with addiction and anxiety during the holidays.
Known for his vibrant presence on TV and as a choreographer to the stars, Dan reveals a side of himself that many haven't seen—a man battling inner demons while trying to maintain a public facade. He candidly discusses how he used the holidays as an excuse to drink more and care less, leading to poor choices and deeper struggles. Dan emphasizes the importance of not giving oneself or others a 'free pass' during this time.
Instead, he urges listeners to seek help if they need it and to check in on loved ones who might be struggling. His message is clear: the gift of a better life is far more valuable than temporary escapism. By sharing his journey to sobriety, Dan hopes to inspire others to be mindful of their actions and offer support rather than excuses.
