A testament to the program - I have went through tons stress and anxiety during the last five months and have not had the desire to pick-up. AA truly works! I never thought it was possible to face the type of struggles I've been through without seeking relief in a bottle.
Dan, good to see you here and thank you for sharing and carrying the message of recovery through your experience.

Rest assured that you will find a balance between meetings and parenting. It's taken me years, and I've always believed that God gives me time away from my children to focus on my recovery, it's made me a much better father that I ever dreamed I was capable of being.
