During the last 3 months of dads life he asked 1 thing of me, and I let him down. He asked me to quit drinking, he thought I was far to self destructive while drinking, the situations I would end up in, my crazy personality changes and blackouts.
I quit for two years because when my dad died I was newly pregnant with Cam, and when he was 4 months old I became pregnant with Kaylee. After she was born I started drinking again, fairly responsibly, only while out of the house when the kids were with my mom. When Kaylee was 3 and went through a traumatic event, I started drinking heavily for a year and 1/2 until I ended up in the hospital. I stopped again for 7 years, until another crisis happend within our family and ended up drinking very heavily for 3 more years. On the 24th of this month I will have one year sober. Yes I've done it for myself, and my family as well.
So here's to you dad. I hope you would be proud of me...
