If all you had today was 40% and you gave 100%, you did what you could. It's about striving to be the best you can be and remembering your 'why' every step of the way.
What happens when the thing you rely on for confidence becomes the very thing that holds you back? In this episode of 'Remember Your Why', host Kristen sits down with Ian, who candidly shares his journey from teenage drinking in the UK to finding clarity and purpose in sobriety. Ian started drinking at 15, believing it made him more outgoing and fun. However, over the years, alcohol became a crutch that affected every aspect of his life.
He drank to socialize, to stay home, and eventually couldn't imagine life without it. After three decades of heavy drinking, Ian recognized he needed a change. Now, three and a half years sober, he reflects on the challenges he faced and the triumphs he's achieved along the way. His story is not just about quitting alcohol but about rediscovering himself and being present for his family. Ian’s heartfelt conversation offers practical advice and inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction.
Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery or looking for motivation to stay the course, Ian's story reminds us all to focus on the journey, not just the destination.
