Hello! My name is Daniel Ricard, and I look forward to meeting you. I am a support worker and experience enthusiast. Prior to getting sober the only experiences that I looked forward to were the ones that involved drinking, and lots of it. Every sober moment was excruciatingly painful and dull. Life seemed like a hopeless journey with a destination of nothingness. That was until I was done suffering and surrendered myself to something I didn’t even necessarily believe at the time. God if you will, the universe, the great outdoors, divine guidance.
I was then lead through the doors of a 12 step meeting that very morning, full of fear and filled with tears. I don’t even remember what everyone said that day, but what I do remember was that I didn’t feel alone anymore. There was a solution! These people were laughing and sober. Their stories resembled mine in many ways despite their age, race, creed, career, or religious denomination. They couldn’t leave alcohol alone no matter how bad the consequences were. As a result, they were left hopeless that they could stop drinking and that life could be better. That’s exactly how I felt too! One was too many and a thousand wasn’t enough.
Today, those feelings have vanished. I have a purpose in my life today. I love to experience the things that the world has to offer, sober. This feeling used to seem like an impossibility when I was in active addiction. To be free from the obsession to drink alcohol or use drugs is an absolute gift. All it took was honesty, willingness, and an open mind. If I can do it, you can too.
