I’ll share, too. 50 something who’s 32 days sober. Didn’t know how to “do” sobriety until it was too late to make a difference in my marriage. So, now I am rebuilding/reinventing/rediscovering me while sober.

Nate, it is so very good to see you. I'm so happy that you are here (for real, I'm smiling as I type) and that you shared. 32 days, man. Be so proud. It's the journey of a lifetime. I know it hurts. I know it liberates and forgives. Let's keep going.

32 days is a long time to not drink, Nate. Great work and keep going.

This was perfectly on time for me as my task on the next week or so is to actually write a proper “About Me.” Thanks for showing up and sharing, even when parts of you felt like a cop out. I have those parts, too, and while I know they’re trying to help, it doesn’t always feel that way.

What a thought provoking piece. I was captured by your philosophical intro and then nodding entirely in agreement with making sense of who we are in our fluid narratives. Because who I am slightly changes come every Sunday when I look at my bio and think yeah that’s outdated now, or OK I didn’t mention this huge thing I’ve always been. Thank you for a great share.

Adam, thank you so much for taking the time to share with me. It means a lot coming from you as I know you believe deeply in a philosophical perspective on such things. I'm so grateful this resonated with you! And I'm smiling about your Sunday bio review, haha - you nailed it...This must be why we revisit and revisit. We are really revisiting ourselves. :) Isn't it grand to have so much respect for who we are, and who we are becoming. Happy Sunday, my friend.
