Happy to be here.

I think it’s hard for people who meet me now to picture me before I got into recovery, and I love that for all of us.

This month I am celebrating 17 years in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and cocaine that many of you who were around back then will remember lasted 16 years. It feels good to have now been in my right mind (and body) for longer than I ever was out of it. Proud of myself, and happy to be here.

Thank you to everyone who has allowed me to become something new in these nearly 2 decades since. You know who you are and I love you all.

Officially in the dad bod to daddy body pipeline.
