Get rid of the functioning. I'm an alcoholic. And I was missing out on life. I was missing out on my kids and my wife and my job and my goals and my dreams. I was missing out on all of it by trying to put other words in front of it.
Ever thought you had it all under control, only to realize you were barely hanging on? That's exactly what happened to Dan Karaty.

From daily routines to mental resilience, he shares how his recovery journey has reshaped his world. And if that wasn't enough, he's set his sights on completing an Ironman, a goal that demands both physical and mental fortitude.
Tune in to hear Dan's candid reflections on the labels we give ourselves, the myths of functioning addiction, and the incredible power of daily discipline in achieving long-term recovery.
