How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? This episode of the Recovery Matters! Podcast features an inspiring conversation between host Tj and guest Ian Fee, an author who has been sober for nearly eight years. Ian shares his compelling journey from a childhood surrounded by alcohol to a life of clarity and recovery. He reflects on the impact of being exposed to alcohol at an early age and how it shaped his path.
With a mix of humour and candid storytelling, Ian opens up about his past, the moment he realised he needed to change, and the challenging yet rewarding journey to sobriety. This episode offers a refreshing perspective on the power of gratitude and the importance of a supportive community in overcoming addiction. Ian's transformation from a self-proclaimed 'party dad' to a present father and author is nothing short of remarkable.
