I was the victim in every circumstance, but I was also the cause of every one of my circumstances.

Chad has been sober for six years. His first night drinking was quite a wild one, as you'll hear, and as he said, he was just always ready to 'dive in the deep end.'His drinking definitely progressed after college and he was a blackout drinker, so, like many others, a lot of his life is a blur. The insanity really came to fruition. Self pity. Loathing. Lying. Spiraling. It all played a part in his addiction. Once he was given an ultimatum by his now wife, he began the road to recovery.Chad is now happily married and has a son who he loves with all of his heart. Hear his story of addiction and recovery here.
