Video Summary In this video, I document my, "somewhat unconventional means of remaining clean and sober." I say it's somewhat unconventional because my life is rooted in the concept of long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol despite not using traditional programs...
There's a quote I like from Winston Churchill. He said, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." For me, this end of the beginning was rehab. Admitting myself into an inpatient facility for drug...
It was the 4th of July, and I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram. At this point, my feed is basically recovery-related and personal development topics only. I've been coming across these ads recently for apps that claim to be able to help you quit or manage...
