Thanks for sharing Inc. Had a similar alcohol driven upbringing, together with heavy smoking. But I don't hold anything against my parents, that was their generation, everyone in our social demographic did it where we lived, even though it caused a lot of pain and anguish. Anyway, so glad everyone here finally escaped that, even if it did take us a bit of time and lots of pain etc.
Swim, sounds like you're figuring this out - awesome!
So I'm well on my way home for my weekend now. I will have been travelling for 14 hours and will get home just in time to take my kid to a game. Never, ever, could have done that in my previous life. I'll be tired but I love my kids too much to think about doing anything else. I'll be taking another child to something else later on. Wish I'd thought this way before but I guess we are where we are. One step in front of the other, in the right direction. That's all we can do.
Thank you all for being here.
Have a great weekend
