Listen "Dustin struggled with alcohol and felt he was living two lives until he found sobriety."
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we have Dustin. Dustin shared his experience growing up in a Christ-centered home, where he was shielded from alcohol. Although he was a talented athlete in high school and college, he found himself joining the drinking culture due to the social pressures that influenced his early adventures into alcohol consumption. Despite getting three DUIs over 11 years and the drastic consequences, including jail time and a strained relationship with his parents and future wife, Dustin continued to struggle with alcohol addiction. However, after his stint in rehab, a turning point in his life, Dustin became sober and started dedicating his time to writing, running, and therapy. Today, Dustin shares his story publicly and wrote a book titled 'Looks Like We're Running: An Amateur's Companion to Becoming a Marathoner that combines stories of running and his sober journey. This is Dustin's story on the sober motivation podcast.
