29 ABR. 2024 · Sean Robinson is a married, father of 3. In the middle of COVID-19, he decided he had enough of how I was feeling, and seeing the scale reach 320lbs, he knew it was time to make some changes.  Sean decided to remove alcohol from his life, at least for a little while. Going through “Dry January,” “Dry February,” and beyond, Sean learned so much more about himself. He focused more on his habitual relationship with drinking rather than the addiction. Sean found out how difficult it was to simply remove this from his life.   In the pursuit of helping his former self, Sean took a journal he was keeping through the first year of this journey and made it into a book. "Going Dry - My Path to Overcoming Habitual Drinking" was the catalyst for change that Sean needed in his life.  Since the start of this journey, he has lost over 100 lbs., stayed away from alcohol, developed better relationships with my family, and has been feeling great.   Sean joins Unfiltered Discussions for a second time to discuss his progress as well as upcoming challenges he’s set for himself.
