Nice forum! Why haven't I seen this before?

My name is Jack and I'm an alcoholic. I just celebrated three years sober this week, on the 16th. My drug of choice was alcohol but if it's addicting then I have a problem with it. Anyway I'm a full time student and a full time dad. Since I've been sober I've been able to go back to school and get custody of three of my children (all teenage boys...I also have two adult children). I'm living proof that God can and does perform miracles when we let Him.

It's good to be here!
