My other boy is 4 1/2 now. And yes! It is pretty special being sober this time around. Just being present is the best feeling in the world. Even tho there’s really not much I can do for that little guy right now as I don’t have boobs with milk in them. I still get to be around and see the miracle happening.
It wasn’t like that with my first kid. While my wife was pregnant with him that was when I really started drinking hard. That’s when I started drinking in the morning and at work. By the time he came out I was a heavy drinker. More than ever before.
It wasn’t like that this time around. Thank god! This time I get to be here for everything. Not down in the garage drinking and feeling sorry for myself
