This is the story of how a shy kid, without realizing it, relied on alcohol for 13 years of his life to mask his anxiety, insecurities, and live his life. 4 years Sober now, I Look back on what was a semi-life, filled with blackouts, and a deep disconnect with reality and truth, until I made the conscious choice to quit, and never look back, thanks to @wellnesswithbrina . Not going to lie, this is one of the hardest videos I have ever had to make – But at the same time, the painful memories serve a purpose: to anyone who is struggling with alcohol & anxiety, showing there is hope. And to me, as a reminder of how far I’ve come, and how my life was transformed by this single, tiny, massive choice. I will be forever grateful to the day I stopped drinking.
