Create

Sobriety allows me plenty of time to create whatever I choose. 

What do I do?

I am a married, 52 year old father of two home schooled children. I also blog, write fiction and poetry and I operate and run a photography business. And of course I have not missed a day at the gym in over 1200 days. 

Bi polar

With the days of alcohol long gone I have been found to have bi polar. I guess I was reaching for the bottle as a way to combat my disorder. 

Medication has been prescribed and so far things and feelings are quite well. 

18 years

There was a time I could not stay sober for eighteen days. Soon I'll have eighteen years. 

I have almost forgot how bad it was. 

Miserable

For me, to drink is to get drunk, and to get drunk is to eventually die miserable and without love. 

Always

I am a drunk who no longer drinks. 

One day at a time

One drink would turn tomorrow back into a lot of miserable yesterday's  That is why I live for today only.
