“Do I need the grace of God…any less now than when I began my recovery?”
Today marks 8 years in recovery from gambling, and honestly…I really didn’t want to post about it
This year has felt different. I’ve been feeling selfish, like I haven’t gone above and beyond to help others the way I feel like I “should.” I don’t feel like I’ve worked as hard for my recovery as I have in other years. Even my meeting attendance has been spotty
But man, I’m here. I made it to 8 YEARS. Crazy. I’m trying not to dismiss that or even take it for granted. The work just looks different
I need to shout out my GA/GC community for really holding me down, and love to my counselors, therapist, and psychiatrist. Even when I haven’t been as consistent in showing up, they’ve supported me, encouraged me, and reminded me what grace and understanding look like. Thank you
When I read today’s entry in the blue book, my higher power reminded me that this journey isn’t a straight A to B. Some days are loud, some are quiet, but everyday is simple: take it a day at a time and don’t gamble. My shame is fighting me, but this counts too 🤍
And if you’ve gotten this far and you’re in recovery too, especially if you’re in a season like mine, don’t let the guilt talk you out of the next right step. Keep coming back. Keep making good choices
Btw, if you’re struggling with gambling and you’re ready for help, I have a link in the comments to help you find resources. Let’s do this, even if it’s one minute at a time 💪🏾

My tour has been a whole journey! Berkeley gave me something special to bring home
Both of these sets were recorded live at Tupper and Reed, and I am especially excited about my B2B with my boo murcutian. Turn ’em up and relive part of the tour with me 🚀🌍 Check the link in comments for each mix!

👉🏾 Amsterdam said “smile”… I said “say less” 😄✌🏾
The tour is officially complete and happy to be back with my family, my friends, and a Colgate grin that just can’t quit!

It’s out now on SoundCloud, press play and vibe with me through the link where you think

Oh! The Places I’ve gone, three countries I’ve been 💫
From sunsets in Valencia to the sunrises in Berlin
This city was the last stop, the final page to unfold
Where the music felt warmer, though the weather was cold
I’m grateful for fans who became friends so fast
And strangers who danced with us like we had a shared past
Sharing this with my sweet brother Malcolm? A gift!
The memories will be thought of fondly from this trip
So here’s my goodbye, with a grin and a cheer
Danke schön, Europe… until next year 😉
