Traditions?

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?

Exploring the great outdoors and the abundance of lakes in northern Michigan was a defining part of my youth. The summers were all about finding solace in the cool, freshwater, and immersing ourselves in nature. Whether it was fishing, swimming, or simply soaking up the tranquility, the water always played a significant role in our activities.

Back then, alcohol was intertwined with almost everything we did, regardless of age. It was a carefree time, with little concern for consequences. However, as I’ve matured, my relationship with such traditions has evolved.

Sobriety has now replaced the association of alcohol with water activities, and my focus has shifted to creating new family traditions in a fun yet professional manner. The journey towards sobriety has led to transformation, and while some old traditions have faded, new ones continue to blossom, enriching the lives of my very large extended family. Good traditions for a good family.

Until we meet again-Stay Strong; Stay Focused; Stay SOBER!
