Athletic, well-spoken, charismatic,  successful... you would never have known Luc had a problem with alcohol.  But behind Luc's personal successes, he was, in fact, struggling.  By creating this outlandish, overly gregarious persona while he drank, he felt internal pressure to play this self-destructive role in all social situations.  So...that meant drinking in all social situations.  When Luc and his wife decided that having a baby was in their near future, he realized he needed to change his life if he was going to be a good dad.  Luc started attending counseling.  After only a few sessions, his therapist looked him straight in the eye and told Luc he needed to stop drinking alcohol completely.  Luc left the session and cried in his car because he knew in his heart of hearts that what the therapist told him was true.  Luc is now over 5 years sober, competes in marathons, and is the proud father of a beautiful daughter that has NEVER seen her dad drink.  Listen to Luc's powerful story today!
