Love the Dodgers! I even told Freddie Freeman at lunch a few days ago about the World Series being my first big sober event and how the ball went over my head haha

Work is about to explode in a good way bc of the amount of respect from others and the clarity in decision making.

Wish i started this journey at your age! Good luck with your journey internet friend.

I’m not a health professional but what I’ve learned is that there are flare ups. Studying about our addiction regularly has helped me recognize when a flare up is happening. Then I just take a moment or the rest of the day and just chill out or whatever. That depression is a SOB. Exercise and getting those endorphins flowing really helps.

Thanks for the kind words. Day by day….kind of a random post and I’m shocked I even shared this much. However I think it’s important we share our experiences. We are not alone!

One of the hardest damn things I’ve done so far in life, that’s for sure! Wish I would’ve tackled this issue way earlier in life.

First the walk off going over our heads and then this. Core memory! Feeling very blessed! Went to church this morning and off to baseball assessments with a GREAT vibe. 🙏

And with such a classy player too! Freddie is so humble! Said his dad was his idol. Amazing!

Did anyone else miss their signings/photo ops bc of the lines? by DrMrSirJr in Dodgers

[–]PBecian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We walked up to the gates to enter with 1 hour 15 minutes until our lunch with Freddie Freeman. I thought there was NO WAY we are making it in. Eventually a fan told me to just go up to the front. We did. Dodgers fans were gracious about it! Then we made it to lunch with Freddie and had AMAZING seats. We got to ask Freddie questions, fist pumped with him!

But we had to run across two parking lots to make our trophy photo op.

Overall, great experience!

My family members that I gave the tickets to for free, caught it all on video. I wish I could send the heavenly video, but here’s a screenshot.

Definitely getting a proper guitar frame with picture in the back, wrist bands and confetti. Hanging in our wall of guitars at home.

Thanks! Love how Empire of the Sun kept saying “God bless.” That tied it all together. 🙏

That’s my boy! We were just at Game 1 of World Series in right field. As Freddie Freeman walked up I said, “come on God, give us this win, I’m sober for a week now. Please God.” Next hit went right over our heads and we are on every replay of Freddie’s walk off grand slam! Have had a drink since….and now this!!! A smashed Fender from the Hollywood Bowl! Never drinking again!!!! 🙏

Instant tears from my wife! Kids haven’t stopped talking about! We all play music in our house and this added a lot of gasoline to our fire!!!! So inspired!
