How close can a person come to losing everything—and still come back?

Drew’s story is a raw look at what happens when alcohol slowly takes over a life without announcing itself. When survival replaces purpose. When rage, fear, and instinct sit just beneath the surface—waiting for the wrong moment.

This episode isn’t about labels or lectures. It’s about the quiet lies we tell ourselves, the patterns no one sees from the outside, and the moment you realize you’re standing closer to the edge than you ever thought possible.

Drew speaks openly about addiction, violence, responsibility, and the moment that forced him to confront who he had become—and who he still wanted to be. He also talks about recovery in a way that’s rarely shared: not as a finish line, but as a daily decision with real stakes.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a habit, a mindset, or a version of yourself might be costing more than you’re willing to admit, this conversation will hit hard.
