My Story

Drinking and drugs have been a regular part of my life story since my late teenage years. What started off just as a weekend activity would soon become a daily one throughout my twenties. However, when my thirties came I found my life slipping deep into a world of alcoholism that would destroy everything around me. I had that often heard story of the cycle of rehab and relapse back to rehab then relapse that many of us have gone through while falling deeper and deeper down the path of destruction. In early 2018, I found myself in another relapse that would bring me to the point of having no place to live, career destroyed, family giving up on me and nothing but a bag of clothes as my only possession.

At that point I entered into a 90 day inpatient rehab followed with time spent in county for another DUI then a sober living to keep me on the right path. For the first time in that cycle of rehab and relapse, I was truly taking my sobriety and recovery serious. The Big Book, Steps and my recovery program taught me much about how to live a life where I did not need to have drinking or drugs in it but truly practicing these things in my daily affairs I struggled with.

It was when I came across stoicism that I began to have a full and complete change in my life that not only helps to keep me sober but also truly taught me how to live a life in balance that is free of negative emotion. Reading in depth into the philosophy I found that it coincided quite well with the Big Book, the Steps and recovery programs and that it helped to enlighten the 12th step fully. I found myself gaining true inner peace, a deep love for myself and a life that I am satisfied with.

I created this site to bring my insights of this philosophy to those in recovery who might find some value in it like I have. I thank anyone and everyone who reads any of what I produce and I wish you a balanced and fulfilling life as well.
