Remember Your Why

Dan has a list of amazing accolades on Broadway for over twenty years, but his biggest gifts of sobriety are his two-year-old son and his husband. Dan shares his powerful journey from a late start with alcohol to the darkest moments of addiction- and how recovery transformed his life.

If you or someone you love has been impacted by addiction, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. 

It took me over 20 years to get sober. The mountain I had to climb was monumental & it turns out, I was the mountain. I was my own worst enemy.  Definitely the hardest battle I have ever faced, but also the most rewarding because sobriety is beautiful. It's an everyday battle when suffering from addiction, but we're all worth a chance at a second chance at life.
