Congratulations on 5 years of sobriety to Jessica! 🎉
“5 years without alcohol.
5 years since recognizing that my place was slowly being cemented within a painful pattern.
5 years of choosing myself.
5 years of sitting with and learning from my feelings.
5 years of growth.
5 imperfect and raw, conscious, intentional, brutally revealing and beautifully fulfilling years.
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change.
The courage to change the one I can.
And the wisdom to know… it’s me.”
“Because the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins; because the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, I have received new life; because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him; nothing is because of me.” —Watchman Nee
You can lie to the fbi but you can't lie to the fb-me. I'm here for anyone who still suffers from alcoholism or addiction struggles, but don't take me for a fool. I was the liquor. I know drunk. Be honest with yourself, then you can be honest to everyone else.

This might not seem like an accomplishment to many, but today I finally hit over 40 days fully alcohol free. I don’t think I’ll ever drink again imo, which if you told me that a year ago I would have never believed it. 🇺🇸🫡✝️
Alcoholism is fucking expensive. I’m not talking about the purchase of booze, I’m talking about the consequences of alcoholism. I now spend $350 per paycheck to pay off my $5,000 debt to courts because of my arrest and conviction due to alcohol related violence. Alcoholism is fucking expensive
WARNING: Avoid alcohol. Avoid womanizing. Avoid gambling. Avoid pornography. These things don’t just waste your time they cloud your judgment, weaken your discipline, and quietly destroy your focus. Protect your mind. A distracted man is an easy man to derail.
@KanekoaTheGreat@justin_carraway I’m so sorry the Kirk’s lost their son and Erika lost her husband. Losing a child is the worst feeling in the whole world.
