Twenty years ago I was a hope to die alcoholic — lost and alone.

Despite achieving sobriety, ten years ago I remained lost — overweight, depressed and utterly rudderless.

Five years ago this week, I published a book about how I found my way out. A spiritual journey that entailed extreme faith and relentless persistence called Finding Ultra. 

Today I celebrate the journey of my rebirth — and pause to honor this five year landmark — by taking a look back.

Because the growth I have been blessed to experience isn't mine to covet. It's a choice available to all.

So today, Julie asks the questions. And I answer them.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the exchange.

Peace + Plants,

Rich
