It’s been a hectic couple of weeks in our household/lives. Events, children and grandchildren visiting from interstate, busy work schedule and a hint of the man flu.

This rings true for me this morning as I sit here journalling.

The balance between healing trauma and addictions as opposed to putting them in a different basket is the challenge.

Addicts can flick into other addictions, albeit positive ones like gym or work. But, have you got to the root cause?

Growth is uncomfortable……make friends with the discomfort, it’s a wonderful place to be.

This is quality from Josh Brolin. Often when we’re caught in addiction it’s a selfish place. Worth taking a step back sometimes and really connecting with the effects it’s having on those around us.

Sobriety from any addiction be it alcohol, drugs, anger, s*x, chaos, trauma and so on is fu***ng hard. It’s easy to stay addicted! It’s hard to get help!

Tools like the below could be useful in breaking your addiction cycle. There’s so many wonderful groups around like AA, NA etc, however the fire and desire to change has to come from within.

Take a chance on yourself men, believe you can change, want to change. Fail, fall down, get up and go again, fall down again, learn, grow and you’ll reach your summit.

There’s no overnight fix. It’s a process. I liken it to Rugby League coaching, get your fundamental skills right and results will come.

Walking through pain with dignity.

Owning our story without shame.

Offering forgiveness to ourself and others not because it’s deserved, but because it’s freeing.

Called by where I spent the first 10 years of my life today. The house has been demolished and so have the sheds and trusty thunder box. It was very calming to let go of that part of my life. The hidings I got there off the old man, getting washed with the gerni because I played in the mud. Parenting 101! Revolution is my name…

The strength to endure, the humility to wait and the wisdom to know that real change is not rushed.

Patience is the quiet warrior’s path is the space between intention and transformation.

What does reflection look like to you?

My time on my bike is the clearest and cleanest time my mind has. Excited for fledgling connections and collaborations. Life is good.

Don’t believe everything you read. Knowledge is power.

Our journey of growth and breaking the shackles of addictions and anti social behavioural, in my opinion starts with ownership/accountability.

It’s to extreme in relation to the below book however the underlying principle is spot on.

Worth a read- Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

Not the absence of noise, but the space where true listening begins to ourselves, to others, and to something greater.

Silence is sacred; it’s where accountability, clarity, and healing take root.

Here’s a twist in thinking…

We’ve all thought and potentially said we’d die for our children/partners/loved ones…

My question is… Would you live for them?

Would you do the work, heal, show accountability and ownership of your struggle, addiction or s**tty behaviour?

It’s a shift in thinking and can be challenging, it’s incredibly uncomfortable facing it, walking through it with pride and accountability. It equals lots of hard work, it equals being challenged, it equals tears, it dredges up all the emotions, trauma and guilt you’ve ever felt. It forces you to be vulnerable and honest with not only yourself but everyone important to you.

It’s not a simple path of elevation. Sometimes it’s two steps forward, three back, five forward, four back and repeat. BUT!!!! You do get there, you do heal and your life gets better.

Just be courageous enough to start.

Remember being young and not giving a f**k? I’d drink 5 nights a week, get through a gram a coke and an 8 ball of whizzer each week. Actually sometimes that was just in a weekend.

I was standing on doors in some of SE Qlds toughest pubs, standing over blokes, collecting “fines”, taking big cuts of cash for jobs I was doing for some of the most prominent lawyers, police and politicians on the Gold Coast.

Thinking I had a “family” after a s**tty childhood. Not once considering how my body would hold up later in life.

Fast forward 20 plus years. I’m 42, I’ve got a couple of bulging discs in my back and I’m off for a colonoscopy on Monday morning.

To be young again hey? F**k that, I’ll wear all that s**t and use it to help men and young men do better and achieve in their lives.

Excellence isn’t an act, it’s a habit. Change your habits so you’re not growing old disgracefully.

Hope you’re all having a great weekend.
