Sobertown Podcast EP 299: Brian aka BAwesome’s Recovery Story
Born and raised in central Pennsylvania and currently residing in northern New Jersey, Brian learned to binge-drink in the US Army way back in 1995 and has had a tumultuous relationship with alcohol ever since. He began his quest for sobriety in June 2015 following a regrettable drunken wakeup call and promptly stayed alcohol-free for four and a half years. Like many, however, his sober road has been anything but linear, and since he made a fateful decision to re-introduce alcohol into his life in late 2019, he's grappled with on-again/off-again stretches of trying to quit vs. drinking to excess. More recently, and due in no small part to alcohol, he hit a rock bottom that included both a suicide attempt and the end of his almost 14-year marriage. But this is a story with a happy ending. In the months that have followed the rock bottom, Brian has reinvented his commitment to sobriety in a way that has him excited about the future. Brian is a heart-on-his-sleeve kinda guy who, in addition to fighting for sobriety, enjoys exercising, meditating, being outdoors, reading, writing, vegging out in front of the TV, and spending time with his two beautiful daughters.
