Summary
Glen spent a big chunk of his life, around 20 years, drinking. This brought a mix of good times and bad times. When Glen was a kid, his parents got divorced, and he ended up living mostly with his dad. He saw some problems in his parents' relationship, which was hard for him as he was growing up.
Because of the troubles caused by drinking, Glen reached a point where he had to make a choice. He had to decide if he was okay with ruining his family again just to stick with alcohol. This is the story Glen shares on the Sober Motivation podcast.
