Happy New Year!  2020 just sounds so cool to say.  It’s going to be a banger of a year and I’m Stoked! 

With the NY, comes new intentions.  For me, I remember years and years of trying to do dry January’s only to fail days later.  It was almost comical if it wasn’t so un healthy.  I guess I wasn’t ready then.  And thankful now that I’m 3 years plus sobs.   

Ok.  First thing first.  I want to be thankful for what I do have.  Gratitude. I am so, so stoked to be sober.  Clear headed, healthy and focused.  I honestly think its saved my life.  As well as a long list of other super grateful parts of my life right now.  Family, Friends, health and coffee… to name a few.  

Next up. Intentions.  I intend to stay sober.  This day.  This year and beyond.  To help others.  To learn, evolve and grow stronger.  To be vulnerable, humble yet powerful and confident.  I intend to use this sober superpower, to heal, help and hype myself and others.  

I also intend to do more writing.  More blogging.  More reading.  More listening.  In efforts to help shed more light about living life sans alcohol. 

Now, not necessarily in regard to sobriety, but I’m also working on changing the emotional quality of my life.  As I’ve stated in these blog posts, I’ve been suffering bouts of depression and anxiety.  I call them D and A for short.  It’s a battle that many of us whom had drinking problems deal with.  And often leads me down a negative path.  So with this NY I’m going to focus on being Positive, looking for the good, being optimistic and changing my outlook.  This in attempt to push away that lame D word.  And shift my attention to all the great things that surround me.  

Next, I’m going to Trust.  I’m going to trust God.  Trust the Universe and Trust me… This to push the evil A word away and create a life of Faith.   

Maybe too much info for this blog.  But that’s me right now.  And I thought I’d share.  I’m pretty darn sure, I wouldn’t have been able to see these patterns and put together this plan of attack for 2020 if I wasn’t sober.  This is me evolving after removing a terrible toxin from my life.  Taking on more life challenges.  More emotional quality.  More mental health.  More Goodness.  

I hope others out there come to understand that removing alcohol leads to so many amazing discoveries.  It opens to a life that is still full of challenge, but also full of pure reality.  No more numbing, no more abuse, and much less suffering… 

So with that, 2020 is going to be epic!  A few days in and i have enjoyed so many pleasant moments.  I wake up sober.  I am thankful for that and so much more.  I appreciate the opportunity to write, to blog and I trust that the future will bring more good for those that look for it…

Happy 2020!
