Juggling lies in active addiction was really hard. It started off as minimizing the problem, and later turned into telling people that I had been sober for a period of time. They always caught up with me and led me back to the drinking and drugs. It's so nice having a legit sobriety date and not carrying around all that guilt. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

I take that first drink, and all bets are off. I don't know how many I will have, or how long the run will be. It took me a long time to realize that I had to refrain from everything in order to finally change. It takes commitment and hard work, but everyone is worthy of recovery if that is what they hope to obtain. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

I really enjoyed having Kelly C. come on to the podcast. Kelly is a friend of mine from the recovery rooms, and she works a super solid program. She is very dedicated to her sobriety and puts in an immense amount of work each day to treat her alcoholism. Kelly covers a lot of amazing topics including being dual- diagnosis, and how to manage that in recovery. She is a perfect example of how action and consistency lead to amazing change.

It's easy to get caught up in the stream of life. It's interesting how I can forget sometimes how bad it was in active addiction. I find that any day I wake up sober is a win no matter what. How the times have changed from having to chase addiction from the second I woke up. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

I wanted a part-time recovery program that yielded full-time benefits. It wasn't until I had experienced enough pain that I was willing to try something different. I had to be willing to get uncomfortable in order to get some different results. I found that sobriety is by no means easy, but it is always worth it. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

The holidays can be both exciting, and stressful. It's a time where those that are in active addiction feel extra isolated and down. I remember how tough the holidays were when I was still getting loaded. It is not like that today. Recovery has immensely changed the holiday season for me. I hope that everyone stays safe and gets to enjoy some time with loved ones. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

We all have different journeys to recovery. Some of us started off as moderate drinkers and at some point, crossed the invisible line into alcoholism. By the end of it all, I was seldom mildly intoxicated. It went from something I did to have a little fun to something I did to block out all reality. It's nice being in recovery and no longer feeling the need to escape the way I feel. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

Those three words completely describe how I always felt sober. Until I could again feel the ease and comfort that comes with a few drinks, or some opiate party favors. I used to see people drinking that were able to stop when they wanted, and it didn't make sense to me. I realize today that I don't have the luxury or relaxing with a couple drinks. A couple drinks means a 3-year run, and I will not take that ride today.
