6 years ago I made the most important decision I will ever make in my life. That morning 6 years ago I decided I never want to feel that way again. And you know what? It wasn’t easy. It was really, really fucking hard. I got divorced, I lost some friends, I cried a lot , I was lonely, and I was scared. But every day it got easier. Every day I learned a little more about myself, every day I became a little bit better of a person, and closer to the man that I truly want to be.

6 years later I’m happiest I’ve ever been, I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I’m in love with a woman that is SO far out of my league, and she loves me back. My career is in a place I never thought it would get to ( they let ME be the boss of people?!?! Crazy)

Guess what….It’s because of all of you. I didn’t go to AA, I didn’t go to treatment. I came here. Every day I came here and I read your stories, your wins, your losses. Every success and every stumble made me remember I wasn’t alone, that there are so many people like me. It was you beautiful messy fuckers that I can thank for the life I have today.

Whether you’re just starting out, or just starting over - Just. Keep. Going. If you fall, get up - do it again. There will be some really hard days. Keep going. There will be times you think you’ve won. You haven’t…just keep going. I promise you…it’s worth it.

Don’t let anyone tell you there’s a right way or a wrong way to do this. What matters is that you do it, in a way that works for YOU.

From the bottom of my heart - thank you, all of you. ❤️
