Alcohol Recovery: "I Drank Right In Front Of My Son"

“My last relapse, I drank right in front of my son.” Andy called the show at nine months sober, 41 years old, with his six-year-old in the car on the way to the fair. 

He talks about three DWIs by age 25, the moment he admitted his love for his kids couldn’t beat his addiction, detox and treatment, and why getting honest changed everything. Michael opens the segment with a Sober October conversation about recovery and why picking up the phone can be the first step. 

Andy’s takeaway: “The only way to keep it is to give it away.”
