Today was one of those days I’ll remember for the rest of my life. 🥋 I was promoted to Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after years of showing up, learning, failing, getting back up, and trusting the process. ☕ I also accepted an offer to join Creature Coffee as a Bookkeeper & Financial Analyst. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and excited to begin this new chapter in my career. 🐦 This morning, my sister and I were able to rescue a young bird after it flew into our glass door. Seeing it recover and safely return to nature was a simple but meaningful reminder that sometimes we’re exactly where we’re needed. Some other wins: ✅ Recovery from my foot surgery continues to improve—I can put more weight on both feet every day. ✅ Stayed clean and sober for another 24 hours. ✅ Celebrated this milestone with great friends. ✅ Ended the day with gratitude instead of fear. Not long ago, I didn’t know what the next chapter would look like. Today reminded me that when I stay committed to recovery, faith, discipline, and doing the next right thing, life has a way of opening doors. I’m grateful to God, my friends, my recovery community, my professors, my teammates, and everyone who has walked beside me on this journey. One day at a time. Keep showing up. #RecoveryWins #OneDayAtATime #Gratitude #BlackBelt #BrazilianJiuJitsu #NewJob #FinancialAnalyst #Bookkeeper #CreatureCoffee #Sobriety #Faith #ProgressNotPerfection

After +10 years smoking, sobriety is looking solid. I almost gave up today again seriously after exposing myself socially to my old boss (friendly one). The atmosphere was festive in madrid city and I wanted to join the vibe. I didn't relapse, I repeat it looks solid. No smoking tobacco and weed at the same time is really hard not because of the cravings but because facing reality is not easy and I'm living the consequences of abusing weed. Weed abuse made me loss my real personality and friends, so I lost friendly social contact. I lost real connection, I lost 3 jobs. Add to that poor sleep, constant anxiety and the only solution I got are prescribed benzos (that I'm not taking). Today social exposure can mark a difference: I REALISED FRIENDLY SOCIAL EXPOSURE IS MY REAL MEDICINE. Add to that I can work better and longer and workouts feels x3 times better than on weed. Last but not least, something crazy about getting sober is that positive things happens "magically", that's very strange. Still a lot of work and time to be where I want to be. Thanks if you readed till the end.

Good Sunday to you all and welcome @Jorge Perez to the community! Let's go Jorge 🔥🔥
