5 Daily Habits That Keep Me Sober & Building ActRite

Every day I wake up with a choice — go backwards, stay stagnant, or move forward with purpose. That’s what ActRite is all about. It’s not just some brand name I came up with in recovery — it’s a blueprint for how I live. A daily commitment to growth, discipline, and self-respect.

These five habits didn’t just help me get sober — they help me stay locked in and build something bigger than myself. Something that speaks to the underdogs, the misfits, the ones who almost didn’t make it. This is for you.

1. I Set Intentional Energy Every Morning

The world wants to pull you in a hundred different directions. That’s why my mornings are mine.
Before I touch my phone, I touch my spirit — prayer, silence, breathing, or even just sitting in the stillness. It reminds me that I’m not just reacting to life anymore. I’m creating it.

ActRite means: starting your day grounded — not scattered.

2. I Keep One Promise to Myself Daily

Some days I don’t feel like doing the work. But I always do something. Even if it's just showing up, filming a short, folding the laundry, or writing two bars. That one small promise builds trust with myself.

It ain’t about the size of the action — it’s about proving I won’t abandon me.

ActRite means: being reliable for yourself, especially when nobody’s watching.

3. I Make Room for Creation Over Consumption

Scrolling doesn’t build dreams. Every day, I carve out space to create something: content, ideas, a new angle for the brand, a design, a hook.
Creating keeps me out of a dark place. It gives my pain a purpose.

If all you do is consume, you lose your identity in the noise.
ActRite means: lead with what’s inside you, not what’s trending.

4. I Protect My Energy with Boundaries

You don’t owe anyone access just because they knew the old you. I’ve had to say no to friends, family, even opportunities that didn’t align. And it wasn’t easy — but neither is healing.

Now I check vibes like I check receipts. If it don’t add up, it don’t come with me.
ActRite means: choosing peace over people-pleasing.

5. I Reflect on the Bigger Picture

Every night before I crash, I ask myself:

• Did I move with integrity?

• Did I help someone — or at least not harm?

• Am I still on mission?

Building ActRite is building a legacy. This ain’t for clout. This is to show others that no matter how dark it gets, you can flip it. Not just survive — but thrive.

ActRite means: living today in a way your future self will thank you for.

Final Word:

If you're reading this, you already want more for yourself. That’s all it takes to start. These five habits aren’t rules — they’re reminders. Tools I use to stay aligned with the mission:
From the struggle, to the success, towards better things.

Stay locked in. Stay loving yourself. Stay ActRite.
