This account is about recovery from addiction and anxiety, and choosing progress over perfection. My goal is to help others utilizing my experience. To encourage others walking the same path. As of this writing thanks to Jesus I have 4.5 years sober. I was near death and God restored me. I also suffer from multiple anxiety disorders: OCD PTSD and generalized anxiety. For the most part I manage these conditions well.

Uggh my neighbor continues to smoke pot outside every day. The smell can be a trigger but I never want to drink or use again!

If you wake up today another day sober thank God for your sobriety. Ask him for the power today to abstain from drinking or using!

I almost died and had a hole in my brain that showed in a MRI due to alcohol. I switched to weed and had a psychotic break that left me catatonic for a period of time. My wife was going to divorce me. I was institutionalized twice and the second time I was locked up with schizophrenics. I finally hit my bottom and surrendered to God. I am now 4.5 years sober and my mind along with my marriage restored! There’s a saying in recovery you don’t have to take the elevator all the way down. Surrender today!

The pathway to healing takes effort for #anxiety. First it was exposure and response prevention for OCD and now it’s Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD.

Anyone else doing CPT for #trauma? It seems difficult as I get anxiety in revisiting my experiences.

Some good news! Drug overdose deaths in the United States have dropped significantly with President @realDonaldTrump’s crackdown on the southern border. The CDC reports that drug overdose deaths in the U.S. fell by 20.6% in a year. Some states, like Florida, have seen more than a 30% decrease. Securing the borders and stopping these drugs from ever entering this country cuts the problem off at the root. I’m thankful President Trump and this administration make protecting our country a priority—and I thank God for the lives that are being saved. breitbart.com/pre-viral/2026…

Surrender is the key that unlocks the door to sobriety. Before I surrendered fully I could gain no traction in my sobriety
