Three rounds of rehab. Hospital visits. Drinking in the morning. On December 30, 2018, he had his last drink. In this follow-up, Luke walks Brad through what changed in the seven years since. The scene with his daughter screaming \"Dad, don't go\" as he drove away in tears. The AA foundation that carried him through year three. The therapist who leaned in and asked the one question nobody had ever asked him: what about you? You'll hear about: working in the liquor industry while drinking yourself to death; getting sober as a divorced dad; outgrowing AA without losing the gratitude; the daily self-care pillars that hold long-term sobriety together; what 7 years alcohol-free actually feels like.
