It's that time of year! Everybody is talking about setting goals for the New Year! And why not? For most of us, it's the perfect time to consider the slate clean, start fresh and go after all the things we failed at doing last year. So what makes this year different?

On this episode Willy and Cameron talk all about resolutions. Why talk about resolutions? Because where had been our high resolve! Remember all those time we swore off drinking! Swore we'd never use again! And for what? We had to get to that jumping off point before we were willing to get the help we needed. So what did that teach us about ourselves and about goals? It's worth talking about!

Our warstory this week comes from Sydney! Caught up in the thrill of the rebellion that alcohol made her feel, she pursued her disease with reckless abandon! The toll it began taking on her body wasn't enough for her to put down the booze all together. It wasn't until a close and personal glimpse at an alcoholic death touched her that she was able to let it go. Hear what life is like for her today! Thank you Sydney for sharing your story!
