Day 53 Sobriety & Reflecting on Loss: Reacting to Ren's 'Mackay' @RenMakesMusic #sobrietyjourney

Today, on day 53 of my sobriety journey, I dive deep into themes of loss, life, and the imprint of those we cherish, through my reaction to Ren's poignant new track 'Mackay.' This song, a tribute to a friend gone too soon, opens up a space for me to discuss death—how it impacts us, shapes our perspectives, and the lessons it leaves behind. In this video, I share my personal reflections on the passing of my surf coach and dear friend, Tim Jones, whose guidance in both surfing and sobriety continues to resonate with me. His voice becomes a beacon in my moments of struggle, and when I'm out on the waves, I find myself hoping I've made him proud.

Death is a complex subject. It's not the end itself that unsettles me, but the journey there—the potential pain and the process of departing. Yet, in acknowledging this, we find a profound appreciation for life and its fragile beauty. This video is more than a reaction; it's an intimate exploration of sobriety, the shadows cast by drugs, and the enduring light of life itself. Join me as we navigate these deep waters together, finding strength in our shared experiences and the courage to confront what scares us, all while celebrating the legacy of those who have left an indelible mark on our hearts.
