Episode Synopsis

Uniquely Qualified welcomes its first anonymous guest, Chris.
Chris is a successful, educated, solution-oriented, happily married individual, currently serving in the United States Army. Chris is also in long term recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. After starting his experimentation with addictive substances in middle school, Chris had a drinking career characterized by breaking the rules and (sometimes) getting caught. After multiple stays in residential treatment facilities, 18 year old Chris started taking his recovery one day at a time. 19 years later, Chris is in long term recovery, living the life that teenage Chris would have never dreamed of.
In this episode, Chris and host Liz talk about their experiences with addiction, 12 step recovery, service to others, and embrace vulnerability in relating to one another's experience, strength, and hope.
