Episode Summary: Five years. It’s a nice, round number. But what does it really break down to? 260 weekly meetings (or not). 1826 mornings without a hangover (and some without much sleep, either). 43,824 hours of making a different choice. This isn't a victory lap; it's a ground-level, unfiltered tour of the my twelve steps. We're talking about the grueling work, the quiet boredom, the relationships that couldn't be fixed, the stunningly ordinary miracles, and the terrifying freedom of building a life you don't need to escape from. Join me for a raw conversation about what 43,824 hours of sobriety actually looks like and what comes next.
