This week on The Dad Compass, we dive into something a lot of dads won’t talk about — what happens when we slip. When a drink turns into 10, when the stress we’re carrying gets too damn heavy, and when the only escape feels like the bottom of a bottle.
From funny drunk stories to serious wake-up calls, we unpack the real reasons men sometimes spiral — and what it takes to reset.
🔥 Highlights:
Beer triggers (grilling, football, fatherhood)
Personal stories from blackout nights to court dates
Therapy insights on “drinking with intention”
Raw reflections on memory, legacy, and being seen by your kids
💬 Question of the Week: “What’s your personal wake-up call when you know you're drifting too far from your best self?”
