A pivot away from your routine is where you grow. I try new things but want to take a bigger pivot now. It’s exciting, no exhilarating!

Sober Monday, hell yea!

Sober weekends are so long and restful!

1056 days sober. Feeling like I’m ready for new things. New thoughts. New sharing.

Hey, check out my backyard art show. My daughter was giggling at me while she took the video. Got us being silly. #art https://t.co/Z7Tz0ubCjL

I’ve said it before but being sober has developed my ability to not give a shit what people think of my art. I’ve been painting constantly recently. I call this one “dinner party”

So you are sober, now what?

How is your thinking?

What’s in your future?

[Eddie Hamilton @soberdadmn]

So it turns out my sobriety has gone amazingly well.

I think there are a lot of people like me who should get sober but might not need a program.

I’ve talked to sober curious people and they like the idea.

I just hope I’m helping them.

My art has grown leaps and bounds since I quit drinking.

I have more ideas than time.

I make a lot of art.

I’m writing a couple children’s books.

I’m in no hurry and enjoying the ride.

Found out a childhood friend died. Then I found out it was alcohol and tough times for him.

Get help if you need it and find your community.

[Eddie Hamilton @soberdadmn]

Congratulations to all the sober people and those thinking about it, trying, wondering.

Sober life is great.

Working on a new painting series. Been thinking about it for a while. It’s called Quietude-showing people at peace with who they are in sobriety is the short description.

This one is me.

I choose being sober ... so I have energy on Friday, I’m not a groggy mess trying to make it through a day.

[Eddie Hamilton @soberdadmn]

I choose being sober over ...
