Summary
We will discuss:
- The slippery slope from alcohol to chronic depression.
- How to recognize the right time for change.
- How to support your own recovery with fun and humor, even in the midst of a mental health crisis.
If you find yourself questioning your relationship with alcohol, or even just wondering what life or you would be like without it, this episode is for you.
What I love about this episode is it’s more of a deep and honest conversation than an interview.
We’re talking to Jason Carter. He is a husband, father, and entrepreneur who struggled for decades with depression and heavy drinking before beginning the journey to recovery. In his new memoir, To Hell I Ride: When a Life Examined Became Worth Living, he takes an unflinching look into the darkest corners of his past and how he found clarity—and ultimately redemption—on a family road trip from Texas to Telluride.
