GhostMarine

Going off the deep end:

I am a retired Marine of 20 years, I enlisted back in 1975, I was 17.

My sobriety date is 06/15/2008, the day I married my 3rd wife.
She was recovering also, and an Ex-Stripper/Crack addict and I knew this from the start. We went to meetings, went to Church and myself, I even went to work for our fantastic Church 3 nights a week.

All was a bit rocky, money mostly, but all in good spirits, and we got by.
Until she brought Crack into my home. That was it, no more, I proceded to leave.
We got divorced, she hooked up with someone that helped her pay for the 2008 Heritage Softail we had just bought. I find out later that, she had Overdosed & died, from a friend, a month after the fact. One would think one would dive head first right back into a bottle of something right? Well that was not me, I dove into College and got an AS Degree in Corporate Network Security form the University of Phoenix.

Turned all my energy toward leaving Florida & moving to Texas for a job offer.
Now I'm great, doing well and want to give something back.....somehow.

You can do it, but only if YOU want it bad enough to drag yourself
by yout boot heels, get a grip on reality, and yourself, and want & strive
for a better, sober way of life. I have been there, done that, wore out
the Tee-Shirt twice. Being a crazy Marine has it's perks, and it's downfalls,
living up to the unwritten code can be taxing on a person.

By the way: The only thing I am addicted to now is Fishing as much as possible, and maybe adding parts to my 2001 Jeep Wrangler....
