Get to Know Ross

My life appeared to be the perfect success story: climbing the corporate ladder, managing international teams, building thriving businesses, and passionately engaging in community service. On the outside, it looked like I had everything figured out. Yet beneath that facade, I was quietly suffering, trapped in an exhausting cycle of stress, disappointment, and alcohol.

Endless late-night client dinners, months spent on the road, and a relentless work schedule became my normal routine. Alcohol subtly transformed from a harmless social ritual into a daily necessity, a coping mechanism I justified as essential for decompressing and managing stress. Initially, it seemed innocent, even beneficial. However, over time, it drained more from my life than it contributed, stealing my energy, clouding my ambitions, and creating a barrier between the man, husband, father, and friend I genuinely desired to be.

A profound turning point arrived with deep personal loss, the tragic death of my eldest brother Kevin, who was taken by cancer at the young age of 65. His passing was an undeniable wake-up call, prompting me to confront life's brevity and realize that living without genuine presence and authenticity wasn't truly living at all. Shortly after Kevin passed, I committed wholeheartedly to breaking free from alcohol, not simply abstaining, but reclaiming control of my life.

This decision sparked a journey of self-discovery, reflection, and purposeful action. Initially, it wasn’t easy. The first weeks were challenging, filled with sleepless nights, racing thoughts, restlessness, and irritability. I had no idea how to handle stress without alcohol.

Instead of reaching for a drink, I turned to journaling. I wrote down my thoughts, even when I didn’t fully understand them. I examined my habits and motivations deeply, confronting difficult questions head-on: Why was I drinking? What was driving me to alcohol? Through dedicated journaling, meditation, and extensive research into habits, mental health, and numerous science based methods, I began to understand myself better.

There was no immediate magical transformation, just honest, gradual improvement. There were tough days and setbacks, but ultimately, my perseverance and structured plan led to clarity, purpose, and renewed connections. Today, I've rebuilt meaningful relationships with my family, rediscovered my true passions, and constructed a life grounded in authenticity and fulfillment.

This meticulous, self-directed exploration, extensive research and professional training laid the foundation for what would become the "Break From Alcohol" program incorporating the revolutionary "True Self Reset" method a structured, practical, science-based approach designed specifically to guide individuals like me through diversity in life and my relationship with alcohol.

Years later, when my other brother Neil, an acclaimed journalist who participated in the Pulitzer Prize-winning team of 2002 and authored the reflective novel "American Ramble: A Walk of Memory and Renewal", also passed away from cancer at 65, it served as another poignant reminder of the importance and urgency of my mission. Neil's passing further inspired my commitment to the Break From Alcohol program, ensuring it would provide the highest success rate and guide members on a journey of renewal.

If you find yourself here, perhaps you're seeking change, clarity, or you've experienced your own quiet moment of realization. No matter your motivation, know that you're not alone. I created this program to help others navigate their own journeys toward freedom from alcohol and self-discovery. You don’t have to face this challenge by yourself, I’m here, ready to guide you through each step toward reclaiming your life and truly living in the present moment.
