Welcome back to another episode of Forging Pillars. Forging Pillars is our series where we highlight members' success stories and how members of the Swolfam apply the seven pillars. If you don't know what the seven pillars are, free download over there at SwolormisX.com. You could always check the show notes down below. But the seven pillars are the fundamental principles that myself from the

Swolfam follow every single day. And that is why we are such a successful group of individuals

because not only do we support one another, but we have our targets set every single day to

execute. And that minimizes our chance of failure long term we get after it every fucking day.

And the Seven Pillars is how we stay focused and enjoy the journey at the same time.

Today's, man, today's Forging Pillars episode is featuring Kat, and I'm really excited for this

post, so check this out.

Cat writes, Hey, fam, it's Kat.

I'm still not as fat, and I'm still happy with that. I want to thank everyone for consistently posting their journey. It helps

keep my husband and I on track with our journey as well. I'm not one for posting very often

due to being raised in a, quote, no news is good news household. And I'm more of a lurker in

general, but I thought I'd share some good news. My husband doesn't want me to make a big deal about it,

but we've both managed to abstain from drinking for the last month. I had a really bad

relationship with alcohol before joining the Swolfam and was drinking to deal with

the things I've been exposed to in my career as a firefighter paramedic. My husband had been

drinking six drinks a night, six plus drinks a night since he got sent to Korea with the army

eight years ago. This Christmas, we celebrated one full month of his

sobriety. Congratulations, by the way. I will still have a drink socially, and since I'm not social,

those occasions will be limited to happy special events. We've been able to create small habits

that are making big differences thanks to this community and the knowledge Papa Swoleo shares.

My husband is leaner than he's been in years and keeps finding new muscles.

I'm getting stronger slowly and I'm progressing in my cardio for my PT test in a few months.
