August 11th, 2019. My daughter was born. This was special for many reasons, one of which was that it was a moment shared with just our children.
Our previous children were born with the ENTIRE family there (we broke a record with our 3rd for most family members present). But with Penny Layne, it was just us, very intimate.
Another reason is, Penny came after 5 miscarriages. We never thought we’d have another. It wasn’t until I became sober that the miscarriages stopped, coincidence? Not likely, alcohol abuse changes your DNA…
Anyways, this was a very special day for me.

Nov 1st I finally was introduced to my wife’s dad. As the family met at his resting place. And it was a great day because I was sober and could be there body soul and spirit. And be there for my wife as well.

EXACTLY! That’s what I’m talking about. Love this. Suiting up & showing up. Being there in the moment… showing empathy, compassion, concern… when were drunk thats all out the window. Im just so happy for you. Keep going…

My life, doing drugs with bad heart was crazy foolish and more importantly…selfish. I wasn’t thinking about my family and friends and the effects it would have on if my heart would have completely stopped while getting high.
