@JoeDonRooney How am I just now reading all of this!? As I have gotten older anxiety came from left field- no one understands it if they don’t suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. As a NP I treat patients with all forms of illnesses but advocating for metal health is so important!

Amazing news from one of my favs! @JoeDonRooney

[JDR @JoeDonRooney]

I’m sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted on any socials. It’s actually been a couple years since I’ve engaged with fans and friends on Twitter (now X) or Instagram.
But I figured today, at the beginning of this brand new year 2024, would be a good day to send a message out to the world.

First off, I am alive!
There have been so many rumors and opinions thrown around about me - but I’m finally healthy and ready for the world. And NO, I’m not transitioning to be a woman.
That thought has never entered my mind. Nothing against the trans community whatsoever but I needed to set the record straight.

My life and career took a major detour at 4a in the early morning hours of Sep 9, 2021 when I ran square into a tree and about killed myself. I was drunk and I was so far gone with my life - I was completely out of control and finished with trying to fight the fears, depression and anxieties that had spun me out in a way I’ve never experienced before.

My drinking had been an issue for many years - and as they say in AA and treatment, it’s a progressive disease. I am living proof that the progressive nature of drinking can really ratchet up and as I grew older as an adult my drinking grew worse.

The pressures of my career and the many mistakes I made in regards to my home life, coupled with a lot of pain and trauma from my childhood and early on in my adult life, had become too much to bear.
I was not a good father - I was not a good husband - and I was not a good band mate to my business partners. I probably would’ve never taken responsibility for any of this if it hadn’t been for my car wreck on Sep 9, 2021.
And btw, going to jail sucks!

Fortunately, (and I truly believe this,) God lead me into that tree safely enough to not kill me - and luckily nobody else was involved and I didn’t injure or kill anyone.
I could literally be in a Federal Prison for life right now. That is the reality of what my life had become.
That event lead me to treatment for my alcoholism for 4 months in the beautiful mountains of Utah. When I first got there, I didn’t want to stay.
I was ashamed of myself. I was so full of fear and guilt, that it took me all of the those 4 months to really start understanding treatment and the AA way and how to best utilize these new tools that I downloaded from the amazing clinicians, counselors and other patients there.

My life has been changed forever - and I’m grateful for the change.
I’ve been sober now for almost 28 months come this Jan 13.
I never believed I could actually live my life without drinking. It had become such a huge part of my daily and nightly routine. I had tried to stop on my own in the past but the powerful nature of alcohol always found its way back into my life.
I learned that I had to come to the realization that I was powerless over alcohol - and a power much greater than myself (and much greater than alcohol) was the only way to stop drinking and completely restore my sanity. God intervened and helped me to get my life back.
With the help of my family and so many other professional clinical advisors and now numerous new sober forever friends, I’ve been able to get the train back on the tracks and live without the burden of alcohol. Now, I need to protect my family and protect my sobriety.
I have new healthy boundaries for the first time in my life. Only positive, loving, caring & understanding people may enter.

It’s an absolute blessing in ways I can barely put into proper words.
But for now, I’ll just say - thank you God!! I wish there was a way I could give back to God what all God has given to me - but moving forward, I will do my best to reflect God’s light of love and grace onto others like so many have done for me.

I hope y’all have an amazing 2024.
Thank you for all the love, support and prayers. I promise you, I’ve felt them all and I’m super appreciative.

Here’s to making the best of 2024 and living our most healthiest, happiest and goal oriented lives ever!!

-JDR

@JoeDonRooney I’m so incredibly happy for you and your sobriety. It takes a special person to speak the truth from the heart. You will continue to inspire others but now in a whole different way. So happy to hear from you! Happy New Year, @JoeDonRooney ❤️

[Amanda Lilly @amanda_lilly1]

So what if I am magically hoping to run into @taylorswift13 while I am in New York this weekend… we could totally just celebrate our bdays together and I could use a welcome to New York for my first time there 💃🤷🏻‍♀️

Really disappointed with @AmericanAir for canceling delaying my mom’s flight home 3 times then canceling. I’ve been waiting up so I can pick her up and now she is stuck in DFW with no idea when she will be home. Do better!
