On paper, I looked like an elite warrior. At home, the mask came off.

In this profoundly candid and powerful episode of Keeping It Real, @RealJennGodfrey sits down with @Thedrewsinclair , a recently retired 20-year veteran of the United States Coast Guard. Drew shares his gripping journey from an elite helicopter rescue swimmer-a unit with an 80% attrition rate comparable to the Navy SEALs-to climbing the ranks as an officer, and ultimately facing his toughest battle yet: overcoming high-functioning alcoholism. Drew opens up about the generational trauma of losing his military father to alcoholism at age 15, drifting without direction, and how the discipline of the Coast Guard saved his life. However, as the pressures of high-stakes leadership mounted, a hidden addiction to alcohol took hold. Now over 14 months sober, Drew details how he and his wife chose radical self-mastery, sold 75% of their belongings, and took their three children on a two-year, life-changing RV journey across America to rebuild their family on a foundation of pure intention. This conversation is a detailed look at what happens when you stop running from your past, break through the emotional traps of societal norms, and enforce absolute discipline to reclaim your health, your family, and your legacy.
