EP 537: Naked Life Story - Kyle
EKyle was never a big drinker so he never imagined that alcohol would be an issue. Life has a funny way of changing things. Job changes, moves that didn’t work out, and Covid-19 upending life as he knew it also changed Kyle’s drinking as he knew it. Listen as he shares what led up to him realizing alcohol was an issue, the struggle to get help, and why he says getting drunk for science was the most eye-opening and powerful thing he ever did. Wouldn’t it be great if our children never had to go through the pain and challenges we faced in our own relationship with alcohol?
