I was extremely unlucky in that addiction runs in BOTH sides of my family. But I'm positive that environmental factors growing up played a part too.
But my genetics and upbringing are both factors that I have no control over. I *do* have control of my recovery, and putting it above all else in my life - today and moving forward.
I have one child and although he's only 4, I do worry about his future. All I can do for now is be a role model, and that means ensuring that I'm not engaging in behaviours that are unhealthy and self-defeating.
Anyhoo. It's good to see you here, James. Stick around for a while.
