When I first sober everything reminded me of everything I was missing out on.  Songs on the radio, posts on social media, and it seemed like every commercial on TV showed people living their best life with a Coors light in their hand.

“I am never going to have fun again” is the thought that kept going through my mind.  I knew I couldn’t drink again and I had no desire to go back to that old way of life.  I simply resigned to the fact that my destiny was going to be a boring, sober, life.

But that is not the life I live today.  My life has more fun and excitement in it than I ever did drinking.  But how did I go from accepting my fate of a boring sober life to a life filled with fun, adventure, and fulfillment?

Well, that is what we are going to talk about in this episode.
