You ever miss family Christmas because you literally couldn’t stop? I had the same plan every year: get fucked up, then somehow straighten up and show up. Never worked. Cocaine and alcohol had a death grip. I became a no-show ghost for holidays, birthdays, and golf days like this while my family waited. Left: me with my dad, brother-in-law, and nephew on the golf course — right before it all fell apart. Overweight, still pretending I had control. Right: me now in rehab, finally getting my life back. 116 days sober and actually taking care of myself 🙏 I’m done letting booze and coke steal real moments — laughing, talking friendly shit, actually being there. I missed Christmas 3-4 years straight after losing my corporate job to addiction. Even when I made it last year, I was dead inside. I’m in rehab because I want those days back. Sober. Present. For them and for me. If you’re stuck in that same hell with alcohol, coke, or any addiction — you’re not alone. The fight is brutal, but getting these moments back is worth every single day. One raw, honest day at a time. ⛳ #Sober #Addiction #WeDoRecover
