A Second Chance at Success: Garrett H.’s Journey to Sobriety

What happens when the pain becomes louder than your pride? Garrett H.’s story is a raw, gripping tale of love, loss, and ultimately, redemption.

Raised in two loving homes, Garrett bounced between California and Tennessee, trying to find solid ground. Marijuana was his escape—until alcohol took center stage. Despite a promising career, marriage, and multiple second chances, the disease of alcoholism kept pulling him under. From multiple stints in rehab to a D.U.I. and divorce, Garrett shares the harrowing reality of living with addiction while trying to keep up appearances.

But on June 2, 2023, everything changed. Given the “gift of desperation,” Garrett committed to 90 meetings in 90 days and finally found freedom on the other side of surrender. In this powerful conversation, Garrett opens up about the moment everything broke—and how asking for help became the bravest thing he ever did.

Whether you're in recovery, love someone who is, or just need a reminder that transformation is possible, this episode will hit you straight in the heart.
