Today marks 15 YEARS of sobriety for my husband, Tyler. ♥️
I don’t think I have the words to adequately say how incredibly proud I am of this man—or how deeply I respect him.
Fifteen years. No drugs. Not a single drop of alcohol. And while that number is incredible, what impresses me even more is knowing that sobriety isn’t just one decision he made 15 years ago. It’s a decision he has continued to make, over and over again, for 15 years.
This year especially has reminded me just how precious that decision is. After losing Jenna and Mary, and knowing how hard Jenna fought in her own journey with sobriety, I think I understand even more deeply what an incredible gift Tyler’s sobriety has been to our family. Addiction can change the entire course of a person’s life—and so can recovery.
Tyler will also be the first person to tell you that he didn’t do this on his own. He gives the credit to God. He knows where his strength comes from, and I think one of the things I admire most about him is his humility in recognizing how much he needs Jesus.
And when I look at our three beautiful little girls, I can’t help but think about how profoundly different all of our lives are because of the choices their daddy has made. They have a father they can look up to. A strong, faithful man who has shown them with his life what it looks like to choose something better—even when that choice is hard.
His sobriety didn’t just change his life. It changed mine. It changed theirs. It changed the story of our entire family.
15 years, Tyler. I am so incredibly proud of you. I respect you more than you know, and I am so thankful that I get to live this beautiful life with you. ♥️
15 years sober. Praise God.
