Three years ago, I was without hope that I would ever recover from this.

I was dying. I had organ damage and I was drinking myself to death.

I had made videos for my loved ones saying my goodbyes.

Then one day almost by accident but now I think by divine intervention, a couple of people took a few minutes out of their lives to save mine.

Today, I am 3 years sober and I've never felt better.

I don't really think about alcohol anymore although I'm always talking about recovery.

I'm still rebuilding...I'm still working on being a better husband and father, friend and family member.

Today...most days...I smile...A lot.

I'm so happy I didn't give up this time.

Thank you soberrecovery.com for being there for me...for supporting me when I find it hard to stand on my own and thank you for helping me learn how to live again.
