I decided to get assistance. I turned to professionals in the field of alcohol abuse for their guidance and therapy. It has actually been a frustrating and a really humbling experience knowing that I am not alone.

” Today, with the genuine support of my wife and household, and many close friends, I took another step forward by admitting myself into an inpatient domestic program, where I mean to take the steps to be a better partner, father, good friend, coach and mentor– one day at a time. It’s a process I am dedicated to. As I do this, I ask that my family’s personal privacy be respected. Thanks, Monty.”
