To end myself would not have ended my alcoholism. Loved ones would have been eternaly sad and distraught. I would have forever been viewed as a cold statistic. The laughter of sweet children would have never existed.
Today, I live a life of health, joy and well-being. Alcohol has been absent from my daily routine for over a decade and a half. The laughter of children and love from a wonderful wife is a gift I never could have imagined as a hopeless drunk.
End alcohol this minute and discover what awaits you in the realm of sobriety.

I looked in the mirror
The most painful moment of my life happened when I looked into the mirror and saw myself as others had seen me for years. For the first time I saw an alcoholic. As painful as that moment was it only meant, that the healing had begun.
A word about healing. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS TICKLE!!

I see my ego...
I see my ego floating in a bottle of booze and I know something has got to change. Unfortunately, that something is me!!
Sometimes the worst enemy we alcoholics have is ourselves. It takes the compassion, heart and eye opening honesty of others to get us through recovery.

A sober thought...
The memory of my best drunk does little to disrupt the current joy within my heart!
Before and after
Alcohol meant the world to me.
The weight of the world upon my shoulders does little to shake my sobriety.

The eyes of a child
My two children were born long after I sobered up. They will never know me as a drunk. And I, will never know them, as children of a drunken father.
