E87: Matt's Wife's In Laws Threw Him Out. It Got Him Sober For Real

Send us a Text Message. This week's guest is Matt, who started drinking at 13.  Matt was a high achiever, doing well in college and Grad school.  He had a family and a great job.  And he was an alcoholic.  

A lot of you will see yourself in Matt.  He was socially awkward until he found alcohol.  He had to be careful in public drinking.  Drinking at home, was another story.  He drank like he did in college, even during his 30's.  

He tried AA, had a sponsor and had a relapse.  Driving home with his wife and in laws in the car, drunk, had the wheel taken from him and told to get the hell out when he got home.

This was Matt's bottom and was the impetus to get sober.

There is so much I know you'll identify with in Matt's story.
