This episode deserved a second chance. The first time around, it got lost in the shuffle—but it’s one of my most personal reflections yet. So, I gave it a fresh title and a sharper focus.

100 days without bourbon. Five months of daily writing. A journey filled with unexpected lessons, quiet shifts, and one word that still doesn’t sit right: sobriety.

In this episode, I reflect on:
✔️ The raw, unexpected lessons from 100 days without bourbon.
✔️ Why sobriety doesn’t feel like the right word—and why that matters.
✔️ The highs, lows, and curveballs from five months of writing.
✔️ How personal growth never looks the way we expect.

If you’ve ever questioned a habit, a label, or the way change really happens, this one’s for you.
