In this episode, we sit down with Tammi, who’s been sober for two years after completing treatment at Rock Recovery Center. What makes Tammi’s story so incredible is that she didn’t even start drinking until her mid-40s—but within just two years, she was a full-blown alcoholic.

Tammi shares what led her to pick up alcohol later in life, how quickly things spiraled, and what it took to finally get sober. She talks about going through treatment just once, doing everything that was expected of her, and taking full advantage of the tools and support she was given. Her story proves that it’s never too late to make a change and shows what’s possible when you’re willing to put in the work. You don’t want to miss this one—it’s full of hope, honesty, and inspiration!

Ian recently celebrated 7.5 years of sobriety, but his journey was anything but easy.
