    Good video bro. Best sober feeling for me is getting up real early on a Saturday . Sunday and being completely fit, healthy and sober. Get to go on little adventures and actually enjoy them. Cheers Dave 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

    Hi, I somehow stumbled upon your channel. Im not an alcoholic (or addicted to any other substance), but watched your videos with great interest. They certainly help a lot of people to (remotely) understand the struggles that alcoholics have to go through. That is of great value if they are in the situation of having an alcoholic family member or close friend. Second, I congratulate you that you dragged yourself out of that dark pit and that you got your life together!
    Best of luck!

      Early sobriety might seem boring, It will take some time to adjust without a drink, making you seem happier. I can't tell you what to do, but stay strong my friend.

    How were you able to stay in the Army so long? Don't they kick people out if they drink to much or use drugs?

      Great question, Melissa, and to let you know, I haven't forgotten about Jack." I'm have a special video planned to tell that story. It is true that someone could be discharged for substance abuse in the military. For me, alcohol didn't interfere with the way I conducted myself in the Army for years. In the first decade, my drinking led me to minor consequences because I ensured I was drinking on the weekends for the most part. In the second decade, my drinking started affecting a few areas of my duties (primarily, my drinking was affecting my private life). One of the primary reasons my drinking went unnoticed for so long is that I didn't provide any reason for alarm! I was always on time, I fulfilled my duties, I took on challenging assignments, I trained others, and my administrative responsibilities were in order. The truth is, I suffered in silence and made every attempt to keep it that way. Towards the end, when my Alcoholism was coming to a head, I knew I had to get help or lose everything. So, I asked to be enrolled in the Army Substance Abuse program, where I was able to go to rehabilitation and AA. This is the short version, the long version if your interested, I will do a video about it. Thank you for allowing me to reflect. How are you?
