Alcohol Nearly Cost Me My Family—This Is How I Stopped

Alcoholism doesn’t start with you—but it can end with you. In this episode of Dudes Without Dads, Fred Sebring shares his raw story of growing up without a father, being surrounded by normalized drinking, and realizing later in life that alcohol had quietly become his coping mechanism. What followed was a breaking point—and a decision to end generational alcoholism for the sake of his wife, his kids, and his faith. This conversation is for any man asking: Why do I drink when life gets hard? Is alcohol affecting my marriage or kids? How do I stop repeating what I grew up around? Is it possible to break generational cycles of addiction? Fred opens up about: Growing up fatherless in a culture where alcohol was “normal” How drinking became a learned escape, not a choice The moment he realized his kids were watching everything Why white-knuckling sobriety didn’t work for him How prayer and fasting led to real, lasting freedom Why forgiveness plays a critical role in healing addiction What it means to be a man of integrity when no one taught you how This episode is not about shame, labels, or pretending alcohol isn’t a problem. It’s about honest self-examination, personal responsibility, and choosing a different legacy. If alcohol has been passed down in your family, this conversation will challenge you—and give you hope that change is possible. 🔑 Key Topics breaking generational alcoholism men struggling with alcohol fatherless men and addiction Christian recovery from alcohol faith-based sobriety prayer and fasting testimony healing father wounds becoming the dad you never had alcohol and masculinity 👉 Take the Next Step If you have a story of overcoming addiction, father wounds, or breaking destructive family cycles, apply to be a guest: https://dudeswithoutdadspodcast.com Subscribe for weekly conversations helping men become the dads they never had.
