I grew up in addiction. I started drinking two years after I got out of rehab, and that lasted more than a decade. But when my wife told me I was pregnant, month six of her pregnancy, and she told me she couldn t believe I was drinking, I just realized I can t continue this in my family. It was a simple equation. If I don t quit drinking over the next 50 years of us being together, there is zero chance that I don't make a mistake that causes massive pain to our family. I've been sober for 11 years. My son is 11 years old.
