5 years ago I was a bartender partying 5 nights a week, now I'm coaching my sons soccer team

Life changed overnight when my daughter was born. I woke up one day and realized I was 32, broke, tired all the time, and my kid barely knew me. Went cold turkey on the drinking scene, got a steady job in IT, and honestly the first year was brutal. But man, soccer practice on Wednesdays and teaching my son to ride a bike hits different than any late night at the bar ever did. I miss my old friends sometimes and the freedom, but I don't miss who I was.
