I went to work in the oil field, uh, pretty much right out of high school. I did a little bit of college, but didn't, uh, didn't really get anywhere with that. And, uh, I've had a steady job at the same place for most of my life, actually. About 16 years of those 20, I've been at the same place. Been riding the roller coaster?

We've been married 10 years. She truly is the love of my life. We are in it for the long haul. She is my ride or die. That's awesome. And vice versa. Very cool. Why did you decide to quit drinking?

Um, it got to the point where in the past I've kind of like self detonated everything and I've got too much now to, to just, um, blow everything up and walk away. Paint me a picture of self detonating. Um, in the past I've quit my job, um, just folded into myself and just kind of disappeared. Okay. Do you disappear in a bottle? Um, not all the time.

I just would isolate and just kind of really just go inward. Okay. So what's a, what's a counselor doing for you?

To be able to go through life without just feeling like I'm holding on to an electric fence all the time. Okay.
