Broke’s right—most people drink in their 20s, experiment, move on. I did too. Got married, had kids. But I couldn’t stop. I didn’t know where my “cliff” was until I was already over it. At 44, I woke up broke, divorced, unemployed, and drowning in shame. Sobriety didn’t just…

Me… Discretely hides every beer mug, shot glass and paper coaster in my house.

Every time this shows on my feed, I watch it again. Absolutely briliant @rickygervais

Surely @rickygervais had to be nervous doing this phenomenal speech. 👀

This scene from Good Will Hunting is one of my all-time favorites. Two takeaways: 1. You can read every book ever written, but knowledge means little without real-world experience. 2. Every single person you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.


A new day rises over the Blue Ridge Mountains, its light a reminder that everything begins with action. The stage is set—now it’s your turn to make it beautiful.

Halfway to Heaven. Mornings like this—coffee in hand, crisp fall air, the southern Blue Ridge stretching out before me—remind me how grateful I am to have quit drinking 20 years ago. I wouldn’t be here to savor this if I hadn’t made that change.

Good morning, from the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of north Georgia. Make it a great day.

Come on @Apple — who thought this was a good idea? A ‘Delete & BLOCK’ button for people already in our contacts is a recipe for disaster. Accidental taps are inevitable, and users are going to be furious. cc: @Scobleizer

Steve Forbes is exactly right. Reforming the health care system and making health care affordable could be a "80/20" winning issue for Republicans. This is a must-read. forbes.com/sites/stevefor…

Trump Is Making Healthcare A Winning “80/20” Political Issue For GOP

There are several commonsense reforms that will meaningfully improve healthcare for patients and save enormous amounts of money as well.

David Axelrod: Words have specific meaning. When you say you’re in a war, it’s an invitation for people to commit acts of violence. Chris Murphy, the day before Charlie Kirk was killed: We’re in a war to save the country. You have to be willing to do whatever is necessary.

The events of the last few days have made it incredibly clear that we need to change our tolerance for violent offenders. One strike and you are out.


This pretty much sums up what a f-ing disaster the media is in this country. MSNBC just said that Charlie could have been shot by a supporter in celebration. Cut your cable & use adblockers. Deprave them of revenue.

Daniel Penny prevented this from happening on a NYC subway. Instead of thanking him, many hated him for it.

I didn’t expect RFK to be one of the standout Cabinet picks—but that was some mighty entertaining television today. The Democrats were completely outclassed by the smartest guy in the room.

This is a fantastic example of how the media can lie whilst telling the truth.

I was expecting $80-$90,000 at most. Dang.


Before we head to church, I had to share what we woke up to this morning. The layers of blue ridges, the soft pink glow on the horizon. Life is good in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

From my back deck just now: a rainbow touching down on Springer Mountain — where the 2,198-mile Appalachian Trail begins its journey north.
