Welcome back to Season 5 of the Sober Motivation Podcast.

Join me, Brad, each week as my guest and I share incredible and powerful sobriety stories.

We're here to show sobriety as possible.

One story at a time.

Let's go.

On today's episode, we have Jacob, who didn't grow up in chaos.

He had a loving family and a good

upbringing and no obvious reason to drink. But over a slow 10-year stretch, alcohol quietly

went from casual to coping, from celebration to self-medication, until one day he was sitting

at a hospital being told he might only have months to live, liver cirrhosis at a young age and three daughters

at home. This is a story about denial, shame, near death, functional medicine, faith,

and what happens when you get a second chance at life? If you think it can never happen to you,

listen closely. And this is Jacob's story on the sober motivation podcast. How's it going, everyone,

and welcome back to another episode. Thank you so much for all of your support over the years with
