7 years without alcohol today.
When I look back, what hits me most isn’t just how much my life has changed — it’s how many people have been part of that change.
My wife, my mom, my family… thank you for loving me, supporting me, believing in me, and being there through all of it. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.
And then there are all the people I didn’t even know seven years ago.
The friendships I’ve made. The people I’ve met through Zpalmkitchen. The customers who became friends. The conversations, connections, opportunities, and memories that never would have existed if I hadn’t made that decision to change my life.
That might be the most beautiful part of this whole journey.
Seven years ago, I had no idea what was ahead of me. I definitely didn’t have it all figured out. I just had to start.
And little by little, a completely different life started taking shape.
So today I’m not really celebrating what I gave up.
I’m grateful for everything I gained.
And if you’re somewhere near the beginning of your own journey, wondering if change is possible — it is.
You don’t need to see the whole road yet.
Just start with today.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of these seven years. ❤️
One day at a time
