In this episode of "The Donkey and the Bee," Laura and I discuss the importance of being there for each other. We reflect on a time in our marriage when we were younger and still immature. I struggled with alcohol, which had a significant hold on me. I used to feel like I had to get drunk every time we were with friends, at a party, or attending an event. Having now matured, I am able to talk about how I broke free from that cycle with Laura supporting me every step of the way.

It all started with communication. Laura expressed her concern and frustration about my alcohol use, which she found embarrassing. After this went on for a while, we devised a codeword to signal when I had gone too far. That word was "peanut butter pancakes." It may sound absurd, but that was the point. It was a gentle way to convey the message without sounding aggressive, allowing me to take a step back and reflect on my actions. Watch the rest of this episode to hear about my journey to breaking free from alcohol, including pivotal moments in my 20s.
