Hi, I'm Dave.

But you can call me Crofty, if you'd like.

Born in 1986 and raised in a small town, I'm now a full-time Paramedic in Ontario. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors. I get to the gym pretty regularly, I like to go hiking, mountain biking and camping, and I'm also a big fan of relaxing with a cup of coffee and a book. I started this blog just over 1 year after getting sober from alcohol.

Although I never considered myself to be an alcoholic, I was definitely a problem-drinker and it was well past time to make a change. My goal with this blog is to show anyone who might be in a similar situation that change is possible and things do get better. I've always been more of a shy and introverted kind of guy, so being this open and honest with my struggles is new to me.

That being said, if I can help just one person, I'll know it was all worthwhile. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask!
