I passed 11 months of sobriety this week. So I thought I'd share the 11 people who have inspired me most and some links to some content that might help others.
Theo Von is the man. I love how comfortable he is with himself to explore his vulnerabilities in a serious yet jovial way. He’s really endearing... that southern drawl makes him about 10x funnier too lol
Mate, he is all time. I never realised how deep he could go until I started listening to his podcast, i really like the way he leans into such sensitive topics with that casual, funny approach. You're right, i find myself cracking up at his delivery more than the joke a lot of the times.
So many more books to add to my ever expanding reading list! Matthew Perry really got me in the feels as well as great insight into addiction. I highly recommend people listen to the audiobook if you can, as he narrates it and you feel like you're sitting in the room while he tells his story.
All the best getting your list done so that when they get back they will get your undivided attention. Sonny will be so excited to see you! I was away from my niece for 3 days and called them 2 of the nights I was gone. I'm somewhat dreading being away for 5 weeks for work on the other side of the world but know that video calls will help and the cuddles and smiles when I get back will be the best ever.
Yeah i think authors narrating their own books amplifies the experience significantly. It's read the way they intended it to be read. So much better.
Haha, thanks. I've been getting through it. FaceTime has been a life saver. I think he's starting to understand that it is me who he is speaking to and that I'm also not there with him. He gets a bit sad after a while when he realises I can't pick him up, but it'll all be over soon!

Knowing you’re going to miss people before they’ve even gone is tough. Good on you for pushing through, Sam. It takes a lot of strength. I see you 🙂.
It's the bloody worst, isn't it!
I was just hanging around thinking to myself, I wonder how much of a blubbering fucking mess I'm going to be!?
A fair bit, it turned out.
I really enjoyed reading this :)
