Finding Light: Andrew Addie's Journey to Sobriety and Community
“I cannot believe that I used to just keep going back and back, and back and back and back to feel like that. And so to sit in yourself, to be like, so imagine, like right in the thick of it, when you were right really in that addiction phase, and if you didn't have the option of alcohol one evening, what would it have been like to sit in yourself internally screaming?”
Ever wondered how someone overcomes extreme alcohol addiction and finds a new purpose? In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr chats with Andrew Addie, the CEO of Untoxicated, an organization dedicated to creating sober social events. Andrew's story is nothing short of inspiring. He opens up about facing severe trauma, sexual assault, and mental health struggles that once drove him to drink. But that's not where his story ends.
