True story…

I truly believe you can’t “therapy away” addiction, and you’re doing yourself a disservice to try…

Sounds crazy, but addicts are some of the most driven and determined people on the face of this spinny globe thing. You won’t beat us if we want something…

The best thing people struggling with addiction can do, outside of AA or whatever support group, is find something they’re insanely passionate about to the point of obsession, and go all in.

For me that was skateboarding and building businesses. For you it can be any positive force in your life, from running to fishing to rock climbing. Whatever it is, let it swallow you.

These activities all have communities which become your support community outside of AA, etc. CRUCIAL.

There isn’t a rule book to this - a lot hardcore folks will tell you that if you drink caffeine or smoke cigs you’re not sober…

My honest opinion - that’s some horsesh*t. Do what works for you. If you’re getting off dope by goin all in on coffee and cigs - hell yeah. Gotta have something.

I smoked like 29 cigs a day when I first got sober. Drank a ton of coffee and Mountain Dew too. It helped with the gnarly ass cravings.

If you let the “absolutists” get to you making the first step is going to seem much harder…

This might p**s some people off but we’re here to help people and I think this is a big one for a lot of folks…

Anybody relate?

“Oh wow why did you get sober so young!?”

I went to my first music festival, Rothbury (the OG Electric Forest) in 2008. I was 16. I had already been drinking and doing a lot of drugs at that point.

By the time I graduated high school I was a full blown addict. I was in love with alcohol and how it made me feel. And I loved to party.

But the dependence was instant. Once all my anxiety and compulsions melted away, I wanted that “care free” feeling all the time.

It was literally overpowering. I remember by 11th grade I didn’t want to do anything unless it involved booze.

By the time I was 21, I was suffering severe alcoholism, drinking about a liter of vodka daily, sometimes more.

And what started as “club drugs” turned into stuff I was consuming daily.

M**A and coke were just standard operating procedure. Even at work.

The middle photo here is from when I returned to the same festival in 2012. Me and 3 friends drove all the way out from Breckenridge back to Michigan (where I’m from) to camp at the festival.

I was reunited with a ton of my high school friends but also had a lot of Colorado friends there too.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I don’t remember anything more than brief snippets from that entire week. The return to this festival and complete blackout the entire time was one of my many “rock bottom” experiences that led to sobriety.

I was completely off the rails at this point.

The truth is, no one knows or understands your story or what you’ve been through, and addiction that starts during your early developmental years can be the hardest to shake.

By the time I was legal drinking age I felt lucky to be alive after the overdoses I’d been through, and I still had 2 more years of the worst of it before I could finally make sobriety stick.

If you’re like me and you’ve seen some S**T from a young age, there aren’t a ton of people that will get it, but once you get sober it really makes you that much stronger.

It’s all part of who you are and why you’re here. It’s resilience. You shouldn’t be ashamed of it - it’s turned you into who you are today.
