Sometimes I get caught up in the excitement of this podcast growing, but then I see this photo... 🙏

This photo was taken by my wife during the darkest days of my addiction - trying and failing to get back into bed, completely lost to alcohol. I keep it as a reminder not of shame, but of transformation.

Every time I look at this picture, I think about what she endured. The countless nights of worry. The hidden bottles. The broken promises. Yet somehow she stayed, fought for me when I couldn't fight for myself.

Almost 30 podcasts of recovery and hope later, I'm a different person. But I'll never forget where this journey started. And that's why I'm not ashamed to share this picture. Sobriety isn't just about staying away from alcohol - it's about honoring those who loved us through our worst moments by becoming the person they always knew we could be.

Today I'm building something beautiful with this channel, sharing recovery stories and hope. But I never want to forget where this started. This picture keeps me grounded, humble, grateful.

To everyone in this amazing community who shares their stories, leaves comments, and spreads hope - thank you. You're why I do this. Together we're showing others they don't have to reach the edge of death like I did to find their way back to life.

To my wife: Thank you for taking this picture. For staying. For believing. I love you. ❤️

Sunday morning coffee + gratitude hits different in sobriety ☕️

This mug represents more than just a podcast - it's a daily reminder of how life changes when you shift from lost to found. From barely hanging on to building something real, one day at a time. Still new to all this, but watching dreams become reality with a clear mind and full heart is wild.

To my anchor @mayzabarros and every single one of you in this community - thank you for making this path feel like home. Keep pushing forward, friends. Your dreams are worth chasing, no matter how small they seem right now.

Lost souls find their way when we walk together ✨

👣 Slide 2/7: "Just take one step." Easier said than done when you've forgotten how to walk. Months in a hospital bed hadn't just taken my health - it took my ability to stand. But giving up wasn't an option.

💪 Slide 7/7: 4 days post-collapse, back at it. Because this second chance? It's not just a gift - it's a responsibility. A liver transplant, kidney transplant, countless procedures... and still standing.

👫 Slide 6/7: Victory looks like exhaustion sometimes. This was our "going home" moment. My wife - my guardian angel - proving that the right support system can move mountains.
