  • #20 Me. 4 Years Sober.

    #20 Me. 4 Years Sober.
    Nov 13 2021
    Today I celebrate 4 years of sobriety. It’s been the best 4 years of my life on this wonderful adventure. When I stopped drinking I thought I was losing so much, I did not realise how much I was going to gain. My peace of mind (most of the time), a lot more joy on a daily basis, and of course my beautiful wife Rebeca who makes me laugh every day at least 100 times. Thank you to all of you for continuing to listen to the podcast, it’s a vulnerable thing to do, but I know that it helps lots of people and that makes it all worthwhile. If you’re starting out on a sober journey, just know it gets better and better if you stick with it. This weeks episode is just me reflecting on the last 4 years, and there’s also one of my meditations at the end. You can get access to lots of this content on my patreon as well.
