Finding Strength After Tragedy: Chief John Quillin's Sobriety Journey

So sobriety definitely gives you the clarity to [be present and love on these people that love me].
Ever wonder how one finds the strength to carry on after unimaginable loss? In this poignant episode of 'Sober Onions', Crystal Morrell sits down with Chief John Quillin, a man whose life took a drastic turn in 2012. After the heartbreaking loss of his daughter, John found himself spiraling into alcohol abuse. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of support systems.
John opens up about his journey through a Navy outpatient treatment program that lasted 21 days, a period that not only helped him understand his drinking but also paved the way for his recovery. Since October 19, 2012, John has been sober, thanks in part to the unwavering support of his family. Married to Dr. Mandy Quillin and father to two boys, Landon and Jack, John shares how they all stood by him during his darkest times.
This episode sheds light on the challenges of rebuilding trust in relationships after addiction and the significance of military treatment programs. It’s a conversation filled with hope, perseverance, and the importance of staying present for those who love you. Tune in to hear John's inspiring story and gain insights into the struggles and triumphs of sobriety.
