In this milestone 50th episode, we pull back the curtain on addiction and recovery through the eyes of a daughter as Larry's youngest, McKenna, joins the conversation to share her perspective on her father's journey through alcoholism and sobriety.
McKenna recounts growing up with her dad "Larber," from their adventures showing livestock to the gradual shift as social drinking progressed into something more concerning. With remarkable candor, she pinpoints the moment reality broke through her denial—finding a hidden, half-empty whiskey bottle that her father had lied about drinking. What follows is a raw family account of navigating the crisis, forming what they called the "core four" support system, and the emotional day they dropped Larry off at rehabilitation.
The transformation she describes is profound—not just in her father's physical appearance as the swelling and yellow tint left his eyes, but in the rebuilding of trust and relationship. Perhaps most moving is McKenna's letter to the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which she wrote to commemorate her father's first year of sobriety, thanking it for returning her superhero to the family.
Now three years into Larry's recovery journey, McKenna reflects on how her initial embarrassment has transformed into pride, and how the experience has changed her perspective on addiction, family, and resilience. This episode offers a powerful window into how addiction affects entire families and the beautiful healing that can happen when recovery takes root.
