My life has been pretty full these last six years. As my children (now 15 & 18) have passed through middle-school and into (and soon out of) high school, I have been so involved in their lives. This would have never happened if I had been drinking. Thank you Lord. I mull over coming back and writing details about my life and the day to day, yet the days are full. I changed jobs about a year ago and am working less hours, have reduced the amount of stress in my life about 1000%. I was fearful, of course, of making a big change in my life – I was with the last company for 25 years and had no interest in being the new guy somewhere at 50. But, you know what? After stopping drinking I can do just about anything and I understand now more than I ever did what is important in my life – my family, my health, my happiness.
I’ll come back soon and write more (that’s probably code for seeing you in another two years…!).
One message I’ll leave in closing – you CAN change your life if you are sick and tired of the life you’re living today.
