THAT WAS THEN
THIS IS NOW

This piece of art really says it all. In fact, it’s a piece I have looked to for inspiration many times over the last decade as my life has been, shall I just say, interesting.

But today, this exact date on the calendar, is different and the inspiration is also different. Very different. A year ago today I decided that my relationship with alcohol was off and no longer in my best interest. And also not in the best interest of my family, my friends, my team, and my community.

I believe everything in life should be viewed as either a pump or a drain. An asset or a liability. A positive or a negative. Alcohol had become a drain, a liability, and a net negative to me. This was my decision, and today, I feel like it has been the best decision I’ve ever made.

Six months ago I mentioned hearing ’a voice inside’ that I had finally listened to. A year in to this journey, I still hear that voice, only now it’s saying, “Hey Lance, I am really proud of you”. Makes my day every time I hear it.

Lastly, I want to thank my beautiful wife @annahansen
for her incredibly thoughtful support over the past 12 months. Babe, you’re my rock and I love you immensely.
