It’s easy to focus on the wreckage. But recovery brings quiet, powerful wins.

This one wasn’t planned. We wrapped one episode and Jake threw out, “what about recovery highlights?” So we hit record again. What came out was a string of stories we don’t want to forget... making amends with kids, seeing life more clearly, learning to listen, finding calm, and living with gratitude.

A reminder that sobriety isn’t about what we’ve lost... it’s about what we’ve gained.
