In this episode of The Sober Fix Podcast, I reflect on my five-year journey of living clean and sober. I discuss some of the challenges and triumphs faced along the way. I share insights on the importance of community support, the realities of addiction recovery statistics, and the transformative power of living a sober life. The conversation also touches on the role of education, career opportunities, and the ongoing pursuit of personal growth and comfort in sobriety. I always emphasize the need for consistency, and the importance of giving back to the recovery community. I find that it's not always about the years, but more so about the days. I can have years of clean time but be far removed from my present mental health. Come check out the episode and thanks to everyone that listens!
