Standout Quotes:
🎙️”In those environments, it was like you just drank on the weekends, and you did your thing, and you've had the same group of friends doing the same thing. So for me, it was I didn't realize there was an issue even though, you know, there'd be times that at a function, I would probably drink more than I needed to and be miserable for 2 days after. It was like, I'd find out, you know, months later that my wife maybe was afraid to come to me about it, was afraid to come and talk to me about it because of how I would react, or, you know, she couldn't see how I would change because it's so difficult for people to change.”
🎙️ "(Journaling) became a place that I went when something good happened, when something not good happened, or something I learned, and it was a place that I just wanted to keep track so I didn't forget it.”
🎙️"When I started working on more fitness, just as intimidating as a lot of things are, going to the gym to me was difficult because there's so many things that you can do, and you're you're gonna do them probably wrong. So I thought, you know what, I'll work on some cardio, and started walking. And then I found myself walking and then jogging, and then I started running.”
