Forever reppin' the @hedera ecosystem. ℏ 3 days. 🗓️

Next month I’m 2 years smoke free, 1 year chewing tobacco free, 31 months free of alcohol. With a new baby en route, I wanted to reflect on some of what I’ve learned. If you don’t like long posts, this one isn’t for you… Changing yourself is not impossible, it’s just hard, uncomfortable, and painful. I spent the better part of two decades making excuses for my addictions because it was easier than facing the thing in life that I feared most: myself Drugs and alcohol were never my problem, they were my cure. I didn’t wake up one day and magically quitting became easy. I held myself accountable, all day, every day until it became easier. And it does. With consistency, your mind and body slowly stop craving. If I had to describe my life drunk in one word, it would be: Irresponsible. If I had to describe my life now in one word, it would be: Accountable. I’m aware that one bad decision can destroy everything. Small compromises are symptoms of future mistakes. I learned that I can’t make people act with integrity. I can’t make life go my way. I can’t make people like or respect me. In all situations I can only control myself and how I choose to, or not to respond. My peace has come from accepting reality, setting boundaries, and continuing forward regardless of external factors. Life is painful sober or drunk. The human condition doesn’t disappear. I try my best to live and learn now. I used to just hide from everything. When I quit alcohol, I had to learn to live as a new person. You find out fairly quickly that the unhealthy things around you were only surviving because you kept putting your own mental and physical health last. When I quit chewing tobacco, I craved it almost every minute of every day for months. Thankfully that went away. Alcohol physical withdrawal was about a week max for me. The mental side lasted longer. The first few months were by far the hardest mentally, but it steadily gets better over time. I have no issue with people drinking or doing whatever. If someone can handle that recreationally and be fine, more power to them. I can’t. I’m incredibly grateful to the people who stayed beside me while I changed. And grateful to God, because after years of lying to myself every day about quitting, I know for a fact I wasn’t alone when I finally did. Was it worth it? 100%. Lost 20 pounds. Blood pressure normal now. Relationships are healthier. My physical health is better. I exercise consistently. My diet is clean. My spiritual life is stronger. I definitely still have a ton of work to do. I’m grateful today that I can try to continue bettering myself. I’m grateful I’m having the opportunity to have another kid. I’m thankful I have the opportunity to write this post. If it impacts even one person who is struggling, I’m grateful for that too. I know this picture is in front of an entire shelf of alcohol. It’s the best recent picture I had 🤣

It’s been pretty eye-opening how many of these community projects aren’t interested in a community event such as May Madness. This was only ever intended to bring people together as a community, not to extract. I’ve got a lot of reevaluating to do for next year’s event, to say the least…. $HBAR
