This episode of "In the Shed with Ryan" delves deep into the personal struggles, societal pressures, and transformative moments that have shaped my path to recovery.

I open up about my younger years when drinking was a daily ritual that often led to dangerous and destructive behavior. From multiple arrests to days spent in a drunken haze without eating, my life was spiraling out of control. Society often normalizes excessive drinking, but behind the facade, it causes severe physical and mental health issues.

Facts About Alcohol:

The turning point came when I realized I couldn't continue living this way. I share the steps I took to get sober, from seeking help to building a support network. Therapy played a crucial role in my recovery, providing the tools and support needed to stay on track.
