Got Sober! Now What? 11/20/2024

Got Sober! Now What? Eight years ago, on November 11, 2016, I made the life-changing decision to quit drinking after 30 years of alcohol addiction. It was the hardest, most humbling step I’ve ever taken, and to anyone reading this who has taken that same step—congratulations. Truly. You’ve done something extraordinary, and I honor you for it. But I want to share something with you: when I got sober, I wasn’t prepared for what came next. Even though I was finally free of alcohol, my body still felt like it was stuck in the past. I had joint pain, back spasms, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, sleep struggles—you name it. I remember thinking, "I did the hard part…why do I still feel like this?" That’s when I realized that sobriety wasn’t the end of my healing—it was the beginning. Years of addiction had left my body depleted of nutrients, overwhelmed by toxins, and running on empty. So, I dove deep into figuring out how to rebuild—not just on the surface but at the cellular level. I started focusing on detoxing, restoring energy, and giving my body the tools it needed to repair itself. Slowly but surely, I began to feel like me again. Today, I feel better than I ever thought possible—not just sober but vibrant, healthy, and full of energy. And now, I want to pay it forward. If you’ve overcome addiction—or know someone who has—this is the next chapter. You’ve already conquered the mental and chemical hurdles. Now it’s time to tackle the physical ones. Rebuilding your health, your energy, and your vitality is possible. It’s not about judgment or perfection. It’s about taking the steps to support your body in the same way you’ve supported your mind and spirit. I’m here to help guide you through it. Whether it’s detoxing, restoring cellular health, or simply figuring out what your body needs to thrive again, know that you don’t have to do this alone. Your recovery is already an incredible achievement. Let’s make your health just as strong. With love, respect, and gratitude, Dave 😎 /episode/index/show/fatfood4life/id/34038481
