Addictive traits aren't bugs, they're features.

When I first got sober, I was terrified I’d become boring.
No more adrenaline. No more chaos. Just… normal life.I thought I’d be the “square dad” mowing the lawn in tucked-in polos while everyone else was still out living. What I learned was the opposite. Addiction didn’t kill my personality, it just hijacked it. The same intensity, obsession, and risk-taking that once burned my life down are now the same traits that built it back up. In this episode, I’m proving that your edge doesn’t disappear in recovery, it actually sharpens.

I talk about everything I’ve done since getting sober: parties, snowboarding, fitness, business, raising kids, pranks, coaching, music, even officiating weddings. My life was getting started when I thought it was over.

The energy never left. It just changed shape.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can still be fun, wild, or interesting without substances, this one’s your answer.
