Recovering alcoholic to open alcohol-free bar in Franklin County

A man who received a second chance at life is reaching back out to help others.

“I literally was a dead flower, all but dead, and brought back for whatever reason and bloomed now,” said Chuck Dutrow, the founder and owner of Kindred Spirits Alcohol-Free Bar in Chambersburg, Franklin County.

Dutrow started drinking around 13 years old and over the years, depression crept in, making the habit spiral out of control.

He says he quit several times and then went back to drinking, making him ultimately feel trapped.

“I literally was drunk for an entire year,” said Dutrow.

He says he was in the hospital several times for binge drinking and a doctor diagnosed him with end-stage liver disease.

End Stage Liver Disease cannot be another term for cirrhosis. It's either compensated or decompensated.
