Hyakumeizan (日本百名山) Redemption

Highlights of my personal Journey of recovery through one hundred mountain climbing

For years, I was trapped in multiple addictions—heavy drinking and smoking, to name a few. The combination of these nearly destroyed my career, my health, and most painfully, my family. On top of that, living with ADHD has been its own constant battle, impacting every part of my life in ways I’m still learning to understand.

But I made a choice: to confront my demons head-on. Now, I’m taking on a new challenge—climbing Japan’s 100 Famous Mountains. Every summit I reach is a step away from addiction and a step toward understanding and managing my ADHD.

This channel is about more than mountains. It’s about struggle, resilience, and the messy, honest path to reclaiming my life. I’m sharing it all—the setbacks, the victories, and the lessons along the way.

If you’re fighting your own battles, whether it’s addiction, ADHD, or both, I hope this journey reminds you that change is possible.

Let’s climb.
