In 2009, amid the challenges of battling alcoholism and juggling roles as a real estate agent and nightclub disc jockey, Justin Farrell crossed paths with his future wife. Reflecting on that time, he shared, "I had been sober for six months, living with my parents, and barely making ends meet."

Justin Farrell expressed gratitude for his wife and supportive family, stating, "I have an amazing wife, who ensures I'm the best I can be; a 7-year-old daughter named Airabella, who brings joy into my life every single day; and a female dog and cat. Without them, I'd be a ship without a rudder."

Justin Farrell candidly shared about "partying" too much which led him to drop out of college.

"I went to Lindenwood University in Saint Charles, Missouri, to attend college and play soccer. But I found out I wasn't nearly as good a soccer player as I thought I was, so I left the team. Unfortunately, I didn't graduate because I majored in partying. Knowledge is power. When you stop learning, you stop growing. If I only knew then what I know now!", he shared.

Justin Farrell has been sober for 15 years

Eventually, Justin Farrell's partying lifestyle caught up with him. The 'Lakefront Empire' star revealed that he has now been 15 years sober.

Justin Farrell reflected how he once heard a great quote that said, "When I die, I'm going to face my maker, and he is going to show me the person I could have become with all the gifts and talents he gave me." That quote inspired him to work on being a better person.

'Lakefront Empire' will premiere on HGTV on Monday, March 11, at 10 pm ET/PT, and will be available to watch on Max the same day and time.
