I knew I had a problem, but I could never admit I was an alcoholic.
Matthew Williams was living a double life. By day, he was a respected teacher and coach, but beneath the surface, he was caught in a cycle of addiction. In this episode of Sober Nation FM, Matthew opens up about his struggle to admit he had a problem and the turning point that led him to sobriety. Arrested for a DUI, he finally entered treatment and began participating in a 12-Step program. The early days of recovery were anything but easy.
Matthew juggled a desk job with personal training sessions in the evenings, all while navigating the challenges of rebuilding his life. One day, in a moment of creativity, he concocted a snack bar from simple pantry ingredients like peanut butter and oats. This small experiment blossomed into FROPRO, a successful snack bar business now found in stores nationwide. Beyond business success, Matthew and his wife launched the FROPRO Foundation to support others battling addiction.
His story is a testament to the power of admitting one's struggles and finding joy in sobriety. Tune in to hear Matthew's inspiring journey from denial to recovery and how he transformed his life.
