Done Waiting For Monday?

For people who know something needs to change but aren't sure what to do next.

No programs. No sponsors. Just a walk.

You've been making and breaking promises to yourself for a while now.

Not just about drinking — about everything. The drinking is just where it shows up most clearly.

You wake up. You feel it. You push it down. You get on with the day. And then tomorrow — same morning. Same feeling. Same promises.

You're not broken. You're just stuck in a day that keeps repeating.

And somewhere underneath all of it you already know something needs to change. That quiet knowing — that's why you're here.

I know that morning. I have lived it for years.

Walking is not revolutionary.

It can be. If that walk is done with the intention to think about it as the antidote to sitting somewhere with a glass of wine.

Walking Sober is a direction.

A simple set of skills — walking, sitting, writing, showing up — that helped me find my way out of the loop. And might help you do the same.

Hi, I’m Terry

Before I went to college my father told me something I've never forgotten. He said — when you're struggling, the tendency is to fade into the background. Don't do that. Sit on the front row.

I heard it. And then I spent years fading into the background in plain sight. Performing. Drinking to fit in. Making myself smaller while pretending to be bigger.

My last drink was at a restaurant in Wimberley Texas in the fall of 2018. My wife and I were at dinner. The wine arrived. I took one sip, put the glass down, and asked her — if I never drink again, is everything going to be okay?

She didn't answer with words. She just grabbed my hand.

I sent the wine back. I keep the date on a penny around my neck. October 1st 2018.

I didn't get sober through willpower. I got sober by taking a walk. Seven years later I built Walking Sober because I wished something like it had existed when I needed it. Not a program. Just someone who'd gotten through it walking beside me and telling the truth.

That's what I'm offering. Come walk with me.

If you've come this far — maybe you want to come a little further.
