With strong support from his family, close friends, and his coaching group, he worked through the tough – and dark – period, leaning on grit and a willingness to ask for help.
Reflecting on his growth, Adrian credits the lessons learned and his ongoing efforts to maintain mental well-being and a healthy relationship with alcohol.
