Stopping drinking is like hitting the brakes on a station wagon, and all your feelings and baggage come flying back. But being sober has given me all the opportunity in the world.
What happens when the roles in a family flip, and the stay-at-home parent finds themselves lost? Pete Caraher knows this story all too well. For over two decades, Pete took on the role of a stay-at-home dad while his wife worked to support their family. With one son in college and another in a special needs high school program, Pete's journey was anything but typical.
Struggling to find his identity in this untraditional role, Pete's drinking escalated, putting his family bonds at risk. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Pete opens up about his battle with alcoholism and the moment he realized he could lose everything he held dear. He shares the pivotal steps he took towards sobriety and how community support played a crucial role in his recovery.
Now enjoying an alcohol-free life in Northern Wisconsin, Pete reflects on the profound impact sobriety has had on his family and himself. If you're looking for a story of resilience, transformation, and the power of support, this episode is a must-listen.
