After receiving a life‑changing letter, Gerard enters the hardest stretch of his journey yet: the waiting. In this episode, he talks about the days that felt like years, the fear that settled into every quiet moment, and the urge to escape the pain the only way he used to know how.

With a newborn at home and three lives hanging in the balance, he forces himself to face the truth sober — one cigarette, one phone call, one breath at a time.

This is the story of living in the space between what you fear… and what you hope isn’t true.

Episode 7 – The Letter

In this episode, I read from my first book Tripping Over Myself and share the moment that shook my life at its core — the day a letter arrived that changed everything.

What began as a normal trip to the mailbox turned into fear, panic, and the kind of uncertainty that makes the world feel unsafe in an instant. I talk about shock, silence, and what it’s like to carry something this heavy alone.

This episode is about vulnerability, waiting, and learning how to face the unknown without running from it.

Comfort Becomes A Cage —Episode 6 – Spoken sticky notes on anxiety and alcoholism. Short, real stories from my life. No filler, just the moments that matter. 2–4 minutes. New episode every Wednesday.

What starts as relief can quietly turn into routine. In this episode, I share how alcohol stopped being something I used and became something I lived inside—and how avoidance slowly replaced direction.
