After 30 years of believing alcohol was his secret weapon, Ian Fee found himself emotionally numb, with broken relationships and a trail of regret. But on the third day of rehab, something shifted—he realized that nothing in his life would work unless *he* did.

In this powerful conversation, Ian shares the moment that changed everything and the slow, steady journey toward a life that feels fuller, more honest, and more connected. We explore his experience with aversion therapy, how he built daily routines that support sobriety, and the people who helped him stay grounded through the hardest days.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll hear:

- The moment in rehab that became Ian’s turning point
- Why aversion therapy worked (and what it really feels like)
- How daily journaling, cold plunging, and a ‘core four’ saved his life
- What happens to friendships when you stop drinking
- The ripple effect of sharing your story
