What it was like?

A life of lying and fooling everyone around me, especially myself. Trying to numb myself so I didn’t have to face realities of life to a point I hurt many important friends and family in my life. I was not the father my kids needed and deserved.

What happened?

Hitting the many bottoms of bottoms. Pregamed before my friend’s son’s birthday party that wound up with me in a complete blackout which ruined a friendship with a very close friend and a strain on others I love. My daughter cut off communication with me and I knew I had had enough.

What it is like now?

Could not be happier. I turned my life around and my path is clear and bright. I face life head on and deal with any and all challenges I used to avoid by any means possible. I regained the relationship with my daughter and I know I can be the dad my kids need and deserve..and I am.
