Kenny believes it is important to give hope to people who need it, because at some point in his life, that was given to him.

He got sober at 21, which shows you can get sober at any age. Now, with 30 years of recovery under his belt, he discusses how growing up within an alcoholic household and the destructive path he later took shaped his addiction. 

After going through a lot of turmoil,  he got to the point of suicidal depression and knew he needed help and finally realized that drinking and drugs was never going to work. He surrendered.
