Me on a Friday morning. ❤️
The alarm goes off at 4:00 a.m.
Before my 5:00 a.m. client arrives, I pour a cup of coffee, spend time with God in my office, meditate, and clean the gym.
It’s become one of my favorite parts of the day.
Completely different than when I was drinking.
I used to think life happened on Friday nights. Now I realize some of life’s greatest gifts happen before most people are even awake.
Recovery didn’t just remove alcohol. It gave me mornings.
It gave me purpose before sunrise.
It gave me peace instead of chaos.
It gave me habits that build the life I prayed for instead of trying to escape the one I had.
Sometimes I just stand in my gym, coffee in hand, grateful.
I can’t help but chuckle at how much of life I missed but beyond grateful for where I’m at now.
Today, I don’t wake up wondering how I’ll get through the day.
I wake up excited to live it.
One day at a time!
❤️
