What can four years of sobriety truly change?

In this deeply personal bonus episode of This Sober Vet, host Joe Yurick sits down with his wife, Katie, to celebrate four years of sobriety and reflect on the journey that transformed not only Joe's life—but their marriage, family, and future.

Together, they share the difficult moments that led to change, including the loving ultimatum that became a turning point, the challenges of rebuilding trust, and the daily decisions that continue to strengthen their relationship. Joe and Katie also discuss the role of faith, therapy, community, accountability, and honest communication in sustaining long-term recovery.

This conversation offers a rare look at addiction and healing from both perspectives—the person who struggled with alcohol and the spouse who stood beside him through the hardest seasons.

Whether you're a Veteran, active-duty service member, first responder, spouse, family member, or someone beginning your own recovery journey, this episode is a reminder that lasting change is possible and that every sober day is worth celebrating.
