From the outset, the conversation rips right into the topic of anniversary’s because I wanted to tell everybody how good I am at remembering people’s sobriety dates 😜
Mark shares some of his story and talks about his “weird”relationship with alcohol even before he started drinking
I love Marks illustration about when he gets in trouble , he reaches for the thing that is closest to support him and all the things that he reached for before he got sober were the things that would kill him. Now that he’s sober , he keeps his 12 step program and the fellowship within reach...as close to him as possible 🙏
So college happened an a career started where drinking was popular and frequent. When Mark started to travel for work, this was when the drinking really took off.

Our families come up in conversation and of course it goes without saying (why am I saying it then) we are both so very grateful to still have our families in our lives.
