The Truth About Recovery And Consistency

-

    So after my long weekend, I'm at home relaxing at the dinner table after my morning run. I find myself thinking a lot about this blog and where I want it to go. 

To all of my fellow recovering addicts out there I want to say this... running or movement in general is such a healing power!

   After my first attempt to quit drinking, I realized something, I needed healthy replacements: Running, exercise, and self-improvement. That helped me calm the anxiety that comes with recovery. The skills I lacked were discipline and consistency, which I still struggle with to this day.

   I will exercise, post on my blog, read self-help books and posts for a few days and then nothing. That is a momentum killer! Now to keep the momentum going, I make sure every morning... I help my wife get the kids ready for school at 6:30 and then I'm off. 2 miles each day, even when I don't feel up to the task.

   So back to the original thought on today's post... I want this blog to be about consistency and dedication. I want people to follow along with my journey; I want you to test the methods I provide and of course comment how they work for you

. While doing so help me stay accountable, not just for posting but also sticking to my own methods... I mean how would it look if I don't "practice what I preach" right? 

   I hope everyone is having a blessed day! Also, if you have recovery habits that have helped you, please feel free to give me some new ideas.

Staying Sober.. Another day in the life

-
    Welcome to day 2 of a day in the life, as I'm sure you can all tell from my first post I have struggled here in this "blooming season." However, I don't let those types of days get the best of me! I had a relapse not too long ago after a few months of not drinking a drop. That all started when I turned 21 years old, had a child on the way and a job that I absolutely despised at the time.    Looking back now... I wish I'd never picked up the bottle, because it's an everyday struggle that I now have to overcome. Don't get me wrong this isn't a sad, sob story about my life! It's to inspire others and help them overcome their addictions. One day in the life at a time... If you're going through a tough time (season) feel free to take this journey with me. We will embrace together new ways to overcome, the journey you are on and how you are facing it. You're not alone!    So reach out through comments, emails, or even other social platforms i...
