Here’s something a little different.
Here’s my long training run, and the sunrise that welcomed me on the trail.

Don’t think you have a drinking problem? Take a drink, watch what happens next. Great indicator whether you have a problem or not. #diaryofarunningdad #sober #sobriety #soberwarrior
Excuses are dangerous. They help us justify a shitty feelings, poor performance, quickly weigh us down.
We can only carry them for so long before we start believing, crumbling under their weight. #diaryofarunningdad #trailrunner #sober #sobriety #odaat #excuses #RecoveryPosse
Bet on yourself with purpose and passion. #diaryofarunningdad #trailrunner #ultrarunner #sober #RecoveryPosse #plantbasednotvegan #PurposeDriven
Excuses are poisonous, as is the ego. #sober #sobriety #diaryofarunningdad #saf #excuses #quote #recoveryposse #recovery #ODAAT
Beware of your ego. It’s the one beast that wants you to relapse. It will look for any reason to trigger the sleeping dog of addiction. #addiction #recoveryposse #ego #diaryofarunningdad #ultrarunner #relapse #recovery
Those mental and emotional walls are there to keep the people out who dont want it bad enough.
At first it may look unscalable, change your perspective and you see the cracks and footholds.

Addiction is insidious. I remember experimenting with a bottle of non-alcoholic wine not too long ago. Nope. I immediately snapped right back to my old ways. Couldn’t have just one glass. Threw it away. Beware. It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing #RecoveryPosse #sobriety #soberlife
Well defined purpose (a task) + hard work (dedication) = survival (sobriety)

Fear nothing. You’re sober! You’re accomplishing something some people only wish they could do.

My profile is smiling, I share moving quotes, thoughts, I still struggle. It’s not all fucking rainbows and unicorns everyday.
I’ve been feeling depressed since yesterday, running felt like a chore this AM. This is reality.

Become your biggest fan. Everyone makes mistakes. Accept failure as part of the process, while celebrating success. That's how we get ahead. #sober #sobriety #odat #RecoveryPosse #ultrarunner #trailrunner #failure #success #biggestfan
The human body is so amazing, fascinating, and strange.

If you’re interested in reading about recovery. This was a painful reminder of the struggle. I wrote it August 2019, I was 150 days sober. #diaryofarunningdad #RecoveryPosse #addiction #relapse #recovery
