I’m excited to have J.P. Cifelli join me on today’s episode to share a little bit about himself and his story as a dad in recovery. He has been in recovery for 15 years and he’s passionate about men’s mental health. He says, “Without my mental health. I am very unpleasant and the world is unpleasant. It's like a domino effect, I'd say. I focused on sobriety and then the mental health came, then focused on that. Sobriety comes naturally when my mental health is in order, and then I became a dad. The key thing about being a dad, for me, is I have to make sure that my sobriety and my mental health are kind of number one. And I know that sounds weird putting that as number one, when I'm talking about being a parent, but I can't be the most productive, present parent if those things are not dialed in.”
**It’s time for that desperately sought after solo Target run.. Grab your keys and let’s go for a drive... There’s no judgment (or breathalyzer) at this Sobriety Checkpoint.**
