I’m so grateful and happy, who knew sober birthdays were celebrated in such a major way. Even my kids woke me up with cake. In the last two years a lot has changed, important stuff and given me the most positive, bright outlook ahead. Fatherhood, work, travel, friends, and being present, it’s all come together. I’m still a work in progress but today feels like anything is possible. I also wanted to share I’m about to launch something pretty major in the next week or so, actually kind of related to sobriety.
