I Drank The Day I Got Out Of Treatment | Pondoff's Anonymous S3 E36 with Kris Glickert

Kris Glickert joins us this week to share a recovery story that didn't exactly follow a straight line.

Kris talks about going from drinking with friends in high school to becoming physically dependent on alcohol in his early 20s, hiding his drinking while working in the restaurant industry, and the friends who finally showed up at his house and took him to treatment.

But getting help didn't mean everything immediately clicked. Kris opens up about drinking again the same day he left treatment, eventually reaching a point where he was simply done, and finding a version of recovery that actually worked for him.

We also talk about nearly 5,000 days sober, family, fatherhood, working in an industry surrounded by alcohol, and why there's more than one way to build a life in recovery.

And, naturally, we spend a completely reasonable amount of time talking about Sugarfire, barbecue and St. Louis restaurants.
