Ryan reflects on his childhood in a tight-knit community, his introduction to alcohol in high school, and how his father's coping mechanisms influenced his own. He describes the progressive nature of his alcohol dependency, the strain it put on his relationships, and his eventual realization of needing change in 2020. After multiple attempts to quit, trying a few different pathways Ryan was tired of the life he was leading and realized his drinking did not only affect him it affected everyone around him.  Something had to change but how would Ryan go from a life of drinking to a life without?

Stay Grateful my friends.

Within a year of her first drink, Amy's relationship with alcohol took a turn for the worse. Isolation and secrecy became her companions as she found herself hiding her alcohol consumption from those around her. What once seemed like a harmless social lubricant had now entwined itself into the fabric of her life. It wasn't until Amy reached her breaking point that she made the courageous decision to embrace sobriety. It has been seven years since that pivotal moment, and she has since reclaimed her life from the clutches of addiction. Interestingly, when Amy first quit drinking, she didn't fully grasp the magnitude of the risks associated with alcohol consumption.
