Happy Thanksgiving!

A year ago was my first Thanksgiving alone in a long time. It was odd and sad. I remember feeling the weight of the divorce this time a year ago and drinking too much whiskey to wash away the pain. I went to some dark places post Thanksgiving (and also had the worst headache of my life)which triggered a relapse and a needed reset of my mindset/goals.

Where am I now? I’m thriving, grateful, and full of bliss. Nearing a year of sobriety, I can now look back at that time as a learning moment and a reminder that I have so much to live for and provide to this world.

I’m thankful for my family, friends, and mentors along the way that helped bolster myself on this road of recovery.

I am incredibly grateful for all of you who are also on this journey of redemption. If you are in a rough headspace this Thanksgiving, use this time as fuel for your recovery engine so that in a year, you can look back at all you accomplished and all the love you spread to others/yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I hope you enjoy some great food with your loved ones and that you keep fighting on!

Much love - Mac
