Feeling isolated and unhappy, Patty Mikinka, an IT manager from Pleasanton, California, decided it was time for a change. She enrolled in the Project 90 experience, a program designed to help individuals quit drinking and transform their lives. In this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast, hosted by James Swanwick, Patty opens up about her journey to sobriety.

Patty discusses the role of accountability and community support in her sobriety journey. She emphasizes how having a network of supportive individuals made the process more manageable and fulfilling.
