Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? Pete Sousa's journey to sobriety offers a candid look at the ups and downs of battling addiction. Since November 7th, 2011, Pete has embraced a sober lifestyle, but his path wasn't straightforward. Growing up in a family where alcohol was a constant presence, Pete's first drink felt almost spiritual.

His addiction strained relationships and led to unexpected encounters, including one with Michael Jordan. However, Pete's story doesn't end in despair. Through rehab, support meetings, and even working at KFC, he found his way to recovery and rediscovered his self-worth.
