Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

From childhood trauma, self-diagnosing, and self-medicating with alcohol to his recovery and beyond, Brian Nicholson’s story is an inspirational journey of survival, addiction, self-awareness, and perseverance.

Millions of people struggle with addiction every day. This battle has its outward physical and financial effects, yet many battle their internal demons out of sight from their family and friends.

On March 31, 2021, Brian quit drinking cold turkey. While that is a major accomplishment by itself, in hindsight, he realized that was the easy part. The significant challenge that arose was the realization that he had to deal with his unknown mental health issues to truly heal what had been wounded and to live the life he always knew was possible. Upon this realization, Brian began his journey.

Brian tells you his story and shows you what is possible, but first you must choose whether you are ready to heal. If you aren’t willing to face the reasons behind your addiction, you won’t be able to truly address the underlying causes, and your chances that you return to use will go up dramatically.

Let’s Get After It! provides you practical tips, insights, and valuable lessons while maintaining there is more than one path to recovery. You will learn firsthand the importance of therapy, journaling, and 30-day challenges while not ruling out the importance of treatment. The goal here is to help get you out of your “Cycle of Suck!” and gain monumental long-term strength.
