What happens when alcohol quietly becomes the third person in your marriage?
Mike Norris spent years believing alcohol made life better. It was part of every celebration, every barbecue, every weekend with friends. He wasn't hiding bottles or waking up in jail. From the outside, life looked successful-a career, a growing family, and eventually a business built from the world of alcohol-free drinks.
Then one Friday, he came home to an empty house.
His wife Kristen had packed the kids, left, and reached her breaking point.
Everyone Gets a Seat is the true story of losing almost everything-and slowly earning it back.
Told through both Mike's and Kristen's perspectives, this honest memoir explores addiction, marriage, parenting, forgiveness, anxiety, therapy, rebuilding trust, and discovering that life without alcohol wasn't smaller-it was bigger.
Along the way, the couple unexpectedly built Designated Drinks, one of Canada's largest alcohol-free marketplaces, but this isn't a business book. It's the story behind the business.
Whether you're questioning your own relationship with alcohol, loving someone who struggles, or simply wondering if life can be different, this book offers hope without judgment.
You don't have to hit rock bottom to change your life.
Sometimes you just have to be willing to stand up... so everyone else can have a seat.
