Hey, friends! Happy Saturday! 🎉 Today, we’re diving into something deeply personal and important—understanding our relationship with alcohol, especially when you're adulting on the autism spectrum. 🍷✨

I shared a bit about my son, Z, and our family’s open approach to discussing drinking and its risks, especially since it runs deep on both sides of our family. Whether it’s letting Z experience drinking among family or learning from my own experiences, the goal has always been safety and awareness.

I'm thrilled to welcome Dallas Collis, a guest who has bravely shared his story about battling addiction and finding peace. We talked about everything from societal pressures, the need to mask pain, and how his philosophy of living in the present has been transformative.

This conversation isn’t just for those who face addiction. It’s for everyone questioning why they drink or use substances as a social crutch. Dive into our talk to explore whether you’re drinking for the right reasons and discover how to foster comfort within yourself without alcohol or drugs.

So grab a comfy seat and join us as we chat about these real-life struggles and triumphs. And don't forget to comment, subscribe, and share the love so we can keep these candid chats coming!
