5 years without booze

Five years ago today I took my last drink . 5 years ago today I became an awesome dad . My son was little more than a year old the Last time I drank , now he's 6 . He will never see the person I use to be , he will only see who I am today .

Five years ago today I was an angry self centered animal he'll bent on destruction, the destruction of me and everyone around me . I knew how to drink , but had no idea how to stay sober . Sometimes the booze would have me thrown in jail . I worked everyday and drank every night, well most anyway.

After many attempts at obstaining from the devils nectar , to no avail; it was time to get off the sauce for good . I decided to" check my self in ." Entering treatment was the only option for me at that point .

5 years later I'm the best dad I can be , the best husband I can be and the best person I can be everyday . I have the life I have today because I quit drinking . If I hadn't stopped when I did , there's no telling where my life would be .

I'm am greatful to highest level that; when I reached out for help , so many people were their to help me as soon as I reached . It's been a jeorney for sure , however; it's been a jeorney worth taking . I still have problems in life , but; I don't have to drink over them today 😊
