89: Pete Caraher: A Stay-At-Home-Dad’s Struggle for Identity and Sobriety


Listen Later

Pete Caraher is a stay-at-home-dad of two boys - one a senior in college and the other in a high school transition program for special needs kids.  After years of working to support his family, he and his wife decided to do the untraditional role reversal for 22+ years (him staying at home, her working to support the family).  Pete struggled to find his new identity as a stay-at-home-dad, and his drinking progressed for years until he was confronted with losing his family forever.

Pete and his family now live in Northern Wisconsin, and he enjoys an alcohol-free life focused on his family.
