👉Qutting Alcohol? 1:1 Sober Coaching: https://soberstrongcoaching.as.me/

He drank a bottle of alcohol a day… until his body gave out.

Andrew shares how years of high-functioning alcohol addiction led to a total physical collapse. From hiding bottles in the house to filling his Yeti cup every morning, he ended up in a medically induced coma.

He was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, ascites, and alcohol-related liver disease. His heart stopped three times, he dropped over 160 pounds, and he spent six months in the hospital, fighting for his life with tubes coming out of his body.

This is what alcohol did to his body — and how he found the strength to quit for good.

Now four years sober, Andrew reflects on the denial, the shame, the near-death experiences, and the brutal truth about what heavy drinking does to your health, your relationships, and your mind.
