Garrett struggled for years attempting to moderate his alcohol intake. True freedom was found in sobriety.

In this episode of the Podcast, Garrett shares his journey of growing up in a small town in Iowa, enjoying a seemingly normal childhood, and later struggling with alcohol. Reflecting on his high school years, college days, and the progressive impact of alcohol on his life, Garrett talks about his experiences with social drinking, blackouts, and brushes with the law. He recounts the turning point moments that led to his decision to quit drinking, including his involvement in an outpatient program, the birth of his twin boys, and the emotional toll his drinking took on his family and himself. This is Garrett’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast.------------Garrett on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gurthove/Sobermotivation on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sobermotivation/00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:14 Childhood and Family Background01:03 High School Years and Sports02:04 College Life and Alcohol Introduction03:59 Early Consequences and Social Dynamics09:05 Post-College Life and Escalation17:41 Struggles with Moderation and Mental Health24:43 Realization and Eye-Opening Moments25:48 Struggles with Drinking and Social Life28:58 Turning Points and Family Impact31:44 Final Straws and Seeking Help34:13 Embracing Sobriety and Personal Growth37:48 Life After Sobriety48:07 Advice for Those Struggling50:34 Conclusion and SupportSober Motivation Mobile App: https://apps.apple.com/app/sober-motivation-app/id6759266291Sober Motivation Website: https://www.sobermotivation.comSupport the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivationContact me anytime: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
