Wanna do great things?
Make up your mind that NOTHING’s gonna stop you.

I am 45 years old & have had a few years that would take most men down to their knees… Despite losing so much, I have decided to use this time to perfect myself as a man.”
I know lesser men, even myself started down this path of drinking themselves into oblivion or just give up on life. Nope.

I love a cocktail myself, but it doesn’t love me back.
A cocktail may relax me for the time being, but the next day, I always feel confused, anxious and like I am contemplating and critiquing all of my life decisions.
