My brother Ryan and I were heavy drinkers for many years and now we have both quit. Ryan's struggle was dramatic at times, including an intervention, two stints in residential rehab, and consistent participation in Alcoholics Anonymous. My drinking seemed more normal and socially acceptable, but after seeing what Ryan had gone through, I knew where I was headed if I did not make a change.

In this conversation, we talk about our drinking histories, the ups and downs of quitting, and our hopes for the future. We are not professionals and we do not offer advice. We offer only our experience and encouragement. If you are considering quitting and want to talk about it, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to talk.
