How Karol held their family together during John’s recovery

John and Karol Dye were raising their children and building their careers when John’s dependence on alcohol began to affect their family. John reached a point where he knew he needed to face his drinking and work toward sobriety.

While John focused on recovery, Karol stepped in to hold the family together. She took charge of the household and gave their children stability through a period of uncertainty. At the same time, she continued building her own career in human resources.

What they learned firsthand

As John rebuilt his life, he trained in commercial loss control and started his own inspection business. Karol went on to lead an HR team, and John supported her as she took on more responsibility.

John knows what it takes to face a problem that has changed your life and begin rebuilding. Karol knows what it takes to keep a family going while someone you love is in recovery. Together, they understand how deeply a life-changing event can affect the whole family. That firsthand understanding is what they bring to YourBrave.
