Today marks three years to the day I woke up as sick as i have ever been, void of any dignity, self esteem or self respect, addicted to nicotine and alcohol, chronic health issues, overweight and mentally ill.
On this day i decided I was never going to drink or smoke again and I haven’t since.
Since then I have complete five half ironman triathlons, three full Ironman triathlons, lost 30kg, progressed from a 55k salary to 120k salary, moved countries, ended toxic relationships, repaired damaged ones, moved into my own apartment, improved my mental and phsyical health and have to come to love myself again.
I have nobody to thank for flipping life on it’s head (in the best way possible) but myself. I am responsible for my actions, good and bad. It’s the hardest work i’ve ever had to do, but fuck it has been worth it.
Here’s to many more years raw dogging life, uninhibited by mind altering substances.
Congratulations on your three years!
Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished since!
You’re a great inspiration to others that changes can be made!
So happy for you, enjoy life and keep on running, swimming and all else!
3 amazing years! So happy for you and your total life change Brook. All we needed in the beginning was a desire to do shit differently. Solid work & more to come!
