Kelly’s dad, Rex, comes on the podcast to talk to about his journey from alcoholism to sobriety. He talks about what his relationship with alcohol looked like including years without drinking at all, the self sabotage that was a part of his disease and the relationships that he was on the brink of losing. 
“Alcohol was the most important thing to me. Period. I couldn’t imagine my life without drinking.” 
He also talks about finding his greatest life in his sobriety and the greatest gift being the relationships he is able to have because of it. 
And the moment he relates to finding freedom with a therapist: “I had to go all around the world, just to get across the street….but then the therapist said to me, ‘yeah, but you got across the street.’”
