Hey everyone, As many of you know I have been in the wine & spirits industry for over 15 years between various sales and marketing roles. However, I have not shared much about my personal journey. I’ve been wanting to share this video I created about my addiction for over 5 months now, but FEAR has held me back. But this year, I’ve made a commitment to continue to face my fears and share my story. I am over 4 years sober now by the grace of a higher power and the wisdom passed down from those who have walked this path before me. If my video and future content can help just one person, then it’s all worth it. I say this to express that: You are NOT alone! 💪 I love the "industry" and all the relationships I’ve created, but I'm also super grateful for all the non alc / functional beverages that have become available recently. Addiction and mental health is a battle that many of us face, but it’s important to remember that there is always hope for recovery and change. I hope in sharing my journey, that it provides support and inspiration to those who are struggling. It’s never easy to open up about such personal struggles, but together, we can find strength in our shared experiences. I invite you to join me on this journey and to share your own stories as well. Let’s work together to break the stigma surrounding addiction and offer support to those in need. #FacingMyFears #HopeForRecovery #EndTheStigma #ShareYourStory #SupportEachOther #soberliving #wellnessjourney #recoverycommunity #mentalhealthmatters #soberliving #selflove #mentalhealth #addiction #sobriety #supportcommunity #anxiety #sober #onedayatatime #soberlife #soberlifestyle #motivationalvideos #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthawareness

Last month I celebrated 4 years of sobriety. Now every anniversary really gets me thinking of how you know where I was and how did I get there, you know, four years ago. Always depressed. I was angry. I was suffering from just immense anxiety having to show up to life and I was self medicating, you know, The truth is, you know, alcohol for me worked until it didn't. I thought I had it all. You know, I had the beautiful wife. I had two amazing children. I had the house, I had the career and I still felt empty. Thankfully I realized. That I needed to make some changes. I needed to go ahead and start that with self love. I need it to go ahead and dive deep inside and look at myself, look at everything that I need to work on. And it started with accepting that I had a problem. Then after that what am I going to do about it? I've got a problem. And now I need to do something about it. I knew I had a problem for a very long time, multiple years, but yet I was still unwilling to make any changes. I had to go ahead and look at myself and decide I am ready. That is not easy. And anybody who's seeing this video, I want you to know you can do it. There is help. You can make these changes. But first you've got to admit there's changes that need to be done. There are certain things in your life that are no longer serving you. And then you've got to take the action. You've got to go ahead and start making the changes. I started making those changes four years ago. It was a slow but gradual process. It starts with just one day, 24 hours at a time, and you as well can start making those changes and differences in your life and helping yourself get to a better place. Remember awareness, action and self love.
