Andrew Culkin, CEO of Culkin Global Enterprises, opens up about his late wife's struggle with alcoholism, providing a deeply personal look at the destructive path of addiction.
His story is a stark reminder of how pervasive and damaging alcohol can be, even in the high-stakes world of sports. Joining him is Natalie Graves, a sports social worker and owner of Natalie Graves Athletic Counselling.

But it also offers hope and practical advice for those struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
