From College Parties to Sobriety: Lindsay and Brandon's Journey

And I'm like these people are literally going through like the same shit, if not worse, you know, than what I'm currently going through, and it just made me feel less alone, and that was a huge thing for me, just just reading other people's stories- and I know aa and support groups are like that- but for me, this was the way that I wanted to take it in.
Remember those wild college days that seemed endless? Lindsay Cowan and Brandon Shaw, better known as Shawzy, sure do.

But this isn’t just a stroll through the past. It's a candid conversation about how those carefree days led to serious struggles with alcohol and mental health.

Their stories are raw and real, highlighting the importance of support systems and being honest about one's struggles. They also discuss how staying active and finding hobbies have been crucial in maintaining their sobriety.
