The Drinking Problem He Couldn’t See | Mike & Kristen’s Quit Drinking Story
Mike never thought he had a drinking problem. He was working, providing for his family, and convinced himself he was still functioning. But behind closed doors, alcohol was quietly changing everything.
In this powerful quit drinking story, Mike and his wife Kristen share both sides of their journey through alcohol addiction, denial, marriage struggles, and recovery. You’ll hear how daily drinking slowly took over their lives, the difficult decisions that followed, and how they rebuilt trust after choosing sobriety.
If you’ve ever questioned your own drinking, wondered whether you’re a “functional alcoholic,” or you’re looking for hope in recovery, this honest conversation is for you.
In this episode we discuss:
• Functional alcoholism
• Daily drinking and denial
• Alcohol addiction recovery
• Marriage and addiction
• Choosing sobriety
• Rebuilding trust after addiction
• Life after quitting alcohol
Whether you’re trying to quit drinking, supporting someone you love, or have years of sobriety, we hope Mike and Kristen’s story reminds you that recovery is possible.
