It took me a long time to get to this point. It probably shouldn't have, as I had warning signs all along the road I was driving down, but the journey felt like too much fun to quit. I'm lucky enough to have never completely wrecked anything in my life as a result from my addictions. Never had a DUI, never got so gone that I was abusive or violent, never got kicked out of school or lost a job. All in all, life was pretty good. And I didn't think it could get any better. However, I wasn't pushing myself for very much, either. Drunken weekends with friends led to drunken weeknights and not a whole lot of productivity in my life in my wasted years.

One of the first things I did when I made the decision to be sober in November of last year was to go to my podcast app and search out as many recovery and sober podcasts as I could find. This led me to the Recovered Podcast and Recovery Elevator to start out with. As time passed, I also started following That Sober Guy and The SHAIR Podcast. Listening to these shows definitely helped keep me sober in my first year of this journey.
