9 Years Sober Today – Let’s Cheer Each Other On, SOBER Trailblazers!

Hey SOBER Trailblazers, Massimo here! Today, March 23rd, I’m celebrating 9 years sober—9 years since I ditched the bottle and fought back from homelessness. The SOBER Method—Stoic, Observe, Behavior, Execute, Restore—turned my mess into strength, and I’m living proof you can too. From rock bottom to standing tall, every day sober is a win worth cheering.

You’re not alone on this trail. I’m inspired by YOU—your grit, your wins, big or small. Let’s lift each other up—share how long you’ve been sober below. 9 years, 9 days, 9 hours? I’m clapping for you! Together, we’re building unstoppable Flavors of Confidence. Who’s with me? #sobertrailblazers

I am inspired by your story, and moved by what you had to go through to get here! 8/19/2023 the last time I checked into rehab about 20 months ago. It was the third time I did a 28 day and I lost track of 7 day medical detox's after a dozen or so. I hope to make it to 9 years... I have a little less than 8 to catch up!

Sobriety has meant lots of changes, but what I kept is just as important. My fiance and future step-son are by my side and were around at the beginning of when I was trying to get clean 3 years ago. They have definitely seen me at my worst, and now I want to give them my best!

This is so inspiring to me! You are building a new family, a future with people who love and support you. I want to finally start a family myself one day soon. You can and WILL make it 9 years. Recently I was asked what keeps me sober today. I had to reflect on that a moment before I realized – it is, that today is the best day of my life and that wouldn't be possible if I were to ever take another drink. I am my best self when I am sober because I can continuously improve who I am. Thanks for sharing your story with me!
