Im 3 years sober today, and I’m sharing my journey in this video—raw & from the heart. I want it to inspire those struggling & remind those on this journey, why we continue to struggle through it.
There was a time I drank and used drugs whenever I could, thinking it was no big deal, just part of the fun. Then came the phase where drinking had consequences—bad emotional hangovers, regrets, lies, and chaos. Eventually, it was just the consequences, no fun left, just a cycle I couldn’t see my way out of.
Back then, I didn’t even think I had a problem. Sobriety changed everything. These three years have flown by in a blink, yet felt like the longest of my life—each day a battle, each victory a milestone. Today i feel proud.
Being sober has made me present for my kids, given us Sage and Jaxx—my miracle babies who wouldn’t exist without my sobriety & my wife Shelly’s unwavering support. She stuck by me through the darkest times, & then pushed me away when I needed it the most, and for that I’m forever grateful.
Family is everything; they’re the anchor that keeps me grounded. I’ve learned friends come and go—especially the party ones. My biggest fear was losing them all, and yeah, that was the hardest part of sobriety. But it left me with a few incredible people who truly want what’s best for me & my family, you know who you are.
These three years taught me to fight my demons. I’ve learned to box, learned that I change my mindset on a daily basis , to set boundaries & its given me the confidence to confront those who treat me badly.
I’ve discovered I’m not made of glass & its ok for people to dislike me, im not perfect, im a peace with that. I’ve cut out endless toxic people who drained the life out of me. Because now I like me, I don’t need everyone else to.
If you want the people you love to see change in you show strength through vulnerability. Commit to something, and you can make it happen. I’m living proof that anyone struggling with drinking or drugs can change.
To those fighting this battle without family or who can’t see theirs, I know your struggle is harder, I want to acknowledge that and you and I’m thinking of you always. Dont give up.
If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone. Share your story in the comments—I’m here to listen.
How are you pushing through your own challenges?

Sorry I don’t buy the tears. He’s just trying to engender sympathy
Actions speak louder than words. And basically he’s been cruel to Nelly
If this is him liking Nelly. Loving Nelly. God help Nelly if he doesn’t like her
Even his peers in the room don’t believe him.

500 Days Sober Today!
I spent my whole life thinking pleasure was happiness, it was a lie, I only became happy & content when I gave up chasing easy pleasure.
I don’t count everyday religiously but I do lookout for these milestones because there was a time that they were completely unobtainable to me, now they sit as reminder to how happy & strong I am.
To anyone struggling & fed up with the cycle of drinking & feeling awful, anyone that no longer enjoys it, it isn’t just possible to break free it’s so so much better.
Blessed. Id be a complete mess & maybe not even here if it wasn’t for my wife.

Well what a year we had! These absolute stars showed resilience, kindness, positivity and perseverance through all the ups and downs. They put a smile on my face each and every day. They really made my last time teaching as Miss Pyott the most amazing experience.❤️❤️
