I was 30 yrs old, 8 yrs married, 2 lovely kids
when I got sober via family intervention. A
28 day inpatiant before i was released and went
home to my little family.
I will say that having my little family kepted
me busy because of all the resposibilities involved.
I truely believe i was in the right place at that
time in my life even tho i began my recovery
journey of many changes within me and around
me.
What I had for 25 yrs in that marriage were
gifts provided from Above and yet how restless,
irritable and discontent I was. However, i continued
on my recovery path a day at a time, crying,
praying, and turning it over to the Man upstairs
to guide me and protect me on my journey.
Eventually i was granted a wish and my prayers
were answered so i could return home to my own
roots here in Baton Rouge, La. where I wanted to
be for so long.
A ticket given via a Bank job interview in which
I got the job and thus allowed me to return home
and end my 25 yr marriage that i lacked understanding
and communication from my little family after I got
sober.
Fast forward to today, im remarried, retired, happy,
joyous and free in recovery. Ive never been big with
friends or family and truely enjoy life with one other
person. We dont care to be around lots of people or
crowds. They're tolerable but just the 2 of us is what we
enjoy. We enjoy and look forward to taking long safe
trips on our triked out Road King to various places.
As far as everyone else in the world, i accept them
as they are and try not to take their inventories to
the best of my ability. As long as I live life with my
Faith and program of recovery to guide me thru life
then im a happy camper.
The rest is just life.
