Brian K.’s marriage was on the rocks. He was drinking heavily and sleeping in his truck in the driveway. Desperate to keep his family intact, he checked into MARR on the same day as his twin sons’ 10th birthday. Through the process of living in community at MARR, attending groups, and working with an individual counselor, Brian learned how to show up authentically and tell the truth, regardless of how it made him look. Additionally, he gained valuable skills in managing conflicts and staying sober, even in the face of tragedy and loss.
