I’ve been to two events where alcohol was present since I last journaled. One I was disciplined, one not as much. Thursday was my friend’s 30th birthday at a brewery, where we were each given two drink tickets. Each ticket allowed you one drink for free. I waited a while for my first drink and …
It is Tuesday, June 8th, and I’m in a good headspace. I weighed myself again on Monday after not having a single drink all week, and I was…220 lbs. I gained a pound last week. You might be thinking, how is this good, but it just clicked with me that I’ve got to give more …
This weekend was a big one for me. This weekend was the first weekend in I don’t know how long that I didn’t drink. It honestly feels great. My fiancee and I cooked dinner Friday night and didn’t have any wine despite seven bottles sitting on the counter. Saturday, I went to a friend’s son’s …

While I was out running yesterday, it dawned on me that happiness isn’t achieved by accomplishing a goal but pursuing the said goal. Feeling that you have a purpose and are working to fulfill that purpose is a feeling that is unlike any other. It obviously feels good to achieve your goals, but that feeling …
Today, something that I’ve heard a million times finally sunk in. It finally sunk in that I have to pick one thing to focus on at a time. Like all of us, I have many dreams, goals, or skills that I’m looking to develop, and I can get caught in the paralysis of analysis. So …
So here it goes. This post is the very first blog post that I’m posting for anyone to see. I’ve been journaling privately for the last month or so. I’ve always wanted to build a website, so I thought a blog would be an excellent reason. I love to write, and I feel like journaling …
