Trust me, I can relate

Daughter just wrapped up softball season, son is finishing up Little League. I thought I was about to get a break. They're both starting summer swim team tomorrow, and daughter was asked to play on an indoor soccer league over the summer, so no break for me this summer. Lol.

I used to take them to AA meetings 2-3 times a week, but recently we agreed to stop doing that, it's time for me to focus on parenting on the nights that I have custody, rather than asking my kids to share in my recovery which they've graciously done for almost 4 years.

So far it's going well, I'm only making it to a few meetings every week, and I still find time to work on my service commitments. But most of all, this is teaching me to appreciate "life on life's terms".
