36 years ago I woke up and didn’t drink all day. I have done that every day since and I am deeply grateful. It is possible to not drink, and it is possible to not drink and have a great life. If you want to know how I did it, DM me. Happy to have a conversation. #recovery #recoveryposse

I’m an extremely honest thinker, who isn’t beholden to anyone and has a lot of hands on life experience at a quirkily wide array of activities.
