My sober life is better than I could have imagined. Life is still happening- I’m losing a loved one to Alzheimers and I was recently diagnosed with skin cancer. Despite all this, today I celebrate 14 months of continual sobriety. I am the father my kids need. And for that, I am grateful #sobersky

I grew up a @detroitlions.bsky.social fan. One of my earliest memories is of the Lions pennant on the wall above my crib.

Unfortunately, that now means every time I see the Lion’s logo I see this instead…

Oh wow! That’s incredible! I took this using a colleague’s suburu refractor. I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time. I think this was maybe 10 x 2 min exposures no flats no darks. cheap CCD

I took this a few years ago before my neighbor repaired his street light. I didn’t realize how big Andromeda is in the night sky until I tried to take a photo of it!

My sponsor treated my kids and me to breakfast this morning and presented me this beautiful 1-year chip. It took me 10 years to earn this. I’m filled with so much gratitude I want to cry. It’s time to give back what was freely given to me. #recoveryposse #sobersky #odaat #recovery

One year ago today I surrendered to my disease. From that day forward my sobriety became my #1 priority. Tonight my kids come back to live with me full time. I can finally be the dad they deserve #recoveryposse #sobersky #sobriety

Replace “cookies” with “alcohol” and this perfectly describes all of my (failed) attempts at controlled drinking #sobersky #sober

11 months sober just in time for Father’s Day. This is the first Father’s Day I’ve spent with my kids in three years, and probably the first ever sober #recoveryposse #odaat #gratitude

I don’t know why, but this reminds me of the bunyip in Dot and The Kangaroo. The scariest 2 minutes in any children’s movie ever made

It’s amazing how much better my life got in the last 10 months. Going to spend the weekend with my kids. Will likely have them back full time in a month. #recoveryposse #secular #weagnostics #ODAAT

The difference between peace and serenity in sobriety. Anyone can have peace if they keep their mouth shut. It’s serenity I want #recoveryposse #sobersky #recovery

Moving out of sober living tomorrow. Heading back to Michigan-my home-to start a transformative new career and, more importantly, reunite with my kids #recoveryposse #sobersky #weagnostics #freethinker

…also found a red-backed salamander with the kids. I’m red/green colorblind so I’ll take your word for it #salamander #Kalamazoo

Nature hike with the kids on bishop’s bog trail. Found a few salamanders, including this beautiful blue-spotted salamander #Michigan #Kalamazoo

My kids took a time-lapse of their mantis “Caraxes” eating a dubia roach. Elapsed time 30 minutes #mantis #tenodera

A beautiful day in northern Michigan with my kids. Stopped for a little rock hunting on our way to Mackinaw. Largest Petoskey stone I’ve ever found… #michigan #petoskey #mackinaw

7mo sober thanks to the power of the Fellowship and working with other recovering alcoholics. Spending the day with my kids in snowy Traverse City. #WeAgnosticsIsAUselessChapter #SoberSky #Freethinker

I’ve collected more than a few of these chips, but I’ve never worked harder for this one. Still sober. Still an atheist. #weagnostics #sobriety
