Getting Sober Changed Everything

3h ago1 min read

3 years sober now. Used to be the guy who needed a beer after work every single day, then it became 3 beers, then I was drinking to sleep. My kids were scared of me sometimes. Now I actually remember tucking them in at night. The money I save is insane. I miss having an excuse to zone out if Im being honest but I gained my marriage back and my kids trust me again. Therapy helped way more than I thought it would. If you're thinking about getting help, just do it.

This is the kind of post I needed to read today. I'm still figuring out how to be the dad my kids deserve, and seeing someone turn it around like this gives me hope. Respect.

Three years is incredible, seriously. My kids are still little but I see how much better I am for them when I'm actually present instead of checking out. That's the real reinvention right there.

Dude, that takes real courage. I get my moments with my kids and I make them count because I know how quick it goes. Glad your kids got their dad back.
