Today, I bought a beach house....
A few years ago, I was bending under the weight of debts. That had been the theme for decades. Debts - not associated with assets like houses, but with poor decisions. And back taxes. And financial anxieties around every corner.
Now I've been debt free for a couple of years, my credit rating has improved greatly, I am remarried, have a baby on the way, three happy thriving kids that I have a great relationship with and whom I cherish, am writing a children's book, my career is strong, and today we closed on a second home - a beach house to make family memories in.
I've absolutely no doubt there is a direct correlation between all these things and sobriety. For many years, decades, I struggled along and went from one mess to another, one burning fire to another, juggling chainsaws all the way and drinking and drugging my emotions and responsibilities into submission.
With all that haze behind me, I've been able to magnify goodness in my life and things grow more and more positive as I go.
Those promises are real.....

Congrats!!! I live just minutes from the Gulf beaches and I couldn't live without the beach and salt water nearby. The beach heals, that is for sure. So glad your children will get to make memories there and with a sober mom. Beautiful post!
I wish you and your family all the best.
