I just hit my one year mark today and of all days it is Father’s Day. It has really had me reflecting over the last year and how my life has changed. Things are getting easier everyday. It took a lot of meetings and a great sponsor and the great people I met through this webdite but here I am 365 one day at a time. It was a great few days I spent with my kids kayaking, swimming and bike riding. I thought about how in the past I would have drank between or during these events ruining them. The kids have seen a change in me and it has been good. We are closer than ever. Thanks to all and I am grateful for so much. Just wanted to share. Thx for reading.
