I’m curious (as a recovered alcoholic myself) how you got sober.

I'll be honest, a lot of it was my wife. And also hitting my lowest bottom after becoming homeless and penniless.

So a combination of looking at what I had done to myself + everyone around me and going "what the fuck." and my ever-vigilant wife who knew I had the capacity and desire to get better.

For me it really took literally losing everything.
