I used to blame my parents for many of my faults and mishaps.
I now realise that they were only doing the best job that they could.
Today I try and set a good sober example for my children.
But, sometimes my faults and foibles get in the way.
Like most parents, I want the best for my children.
So, I do the best that I can.
As a sober dad, that's not too bad.
This dad, drinking, would be a disaster.
"If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning."
