“Ever known anyone with a hole so big inside of them that life passed through it? I was broken and now I am living my best life.”
Life is filled with many moments and experiences and how we choose to accept and embrace them, helps define who we are. While on the surface a smile can tell quite a bit about a person, it is what is behind the smile that tells so much more.
At 8 years of age, I was told I was adopted and this little boy processed it in a way that would create a path that would lead to broken marriages, disruptive behaviors and substance abuse…in other words I was living a life of “poor choices”
In August 2015, after a series of events, I chose to become sober and to make change but what I didn’t know was that this change had to start with me. For the next few years, I worked on this inner child and the results led to the following: Healthy relationships, healthy career, better sleep and nutrition and a journey that had a very happy ending.
Having eradicated myself from constantly trying to escape life, I made the decision to experience it. I made the one choice that haunted me for 42 years…to find out why I was adopted.
The results that followed were enough to write a best seller. However the results that followed led to an even bigger take-away and that was that there should never be any regrets on my yesterdays, I should experience the hell out of my todays and while I should never be worried about my tomorrows, I am prepared for them.
I can talk about being a Dad, inner child, living a positive life, adoption, abandonment, sobriety, relationships, outlook just to name a few.
