This episode we discuss why that happens AND the steps/actions you should take to avoid it & make the progress you want. As always, thank you soooo incredibly much for listening! Much love, Pat.

Jack Buckley is a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for 2 years. He also is an actor in Los Angeles that is in damn good shape. He knew early on that he had the talent to be an actor. However, alcoholism controlled his life & prevented him from taking the steps to reach his full potential as an actor. He finally decided it was time to get sober.

We talked about the drinking culture in our society, getting into acting, having the utmost confidence in yourself, anddd of course how he approaches staying in damn good shape.
