“Sobriety is the foundation of my life. My 34 years have shown me I can deal with life’s highest highs and lowest lows without escaping or dodging one precious moment. I get to live knowing I’m my best self, even as I continue to grow and change. I’m present, grateful, curious and best of all: spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally healthy — all due to being sober one day at a time.”
