THAT LITTLE PAPER UMBRELLA WORKS –
Mar. 19, 2026 – The Fox Weather meteorologist tells PEOPLE quitting alcohol reshaped his consistency, marriage and the way he connects with millions of followers. After a night out that forced him to confront his relationship with alcohol, Kosir says the real challenge began the next morning. “The very next day I woke up, like I had so many times before, the room was spinning and I was trying to recount what happened the day before.” In the hours that followed, he found himself scrolling through texts and piecing together conversations with friends and his wife, realizing how exhausted he felt by the cycle. That same day, he began reaching out for therapy and exploring support groups, determined to understand what had been driving his drinking. Through that process, Kosir says he discovered he had been using alcohol to cope with social anxiety and self-doubt that had lingered for years. Once he began addressing the root cause, he noticed his urge to drink start to fade and his ability to stay sober grow stronger.
