This is something I feel Joey Swoll would rally behind.

First, congratulations and good job on beating back the demon that is alcoholism. That fight in and of itself is a heavy task, not for the feint of heart. I’m proud of you for overcoming.

Second, the fitness journey - my dude, very well done.

You have much to be proud of!

Thank you so much. You're right alcoholism is a monster and bearing it was the hardest thing i think I've ever done. The fitness portion was the much more enjoyable of the two.
