Goodmorning....I don't know how many Dad's we have these days but if you are a Dad , I pray you have a blessed sober Father's Day.
I miss my Dad, he's been gone 12 years now and as I drank my first cup of coffee this morning I thought of him. I have a lot of good memories of him and a few not so good ones. He was an alcoholic, he was dry for the last 20 years of his life but not in recovery, there is a difference.
May each one here have a wonderful day of sobriety and recovery.May you give and get hugs today and live life on lifes terms.
Saw my two sons yesterday at the contact centre. I see my 2 and a half yr old for the hour but my 4 yr old doesnt come in he stays with his mother and she refuses to talk to me. I am trying to get more access at home on court in a couple of weeks. This program is giving me a chance and it's come a long way in 8 months from putting my sobriety first. It's a difficult day for me but I had a great time with my youngest yesterday. Keep in there!
Father's Day is a bittersweet day for me. And it would take the whole cyberspace world to describe it all. But ten plus years of being sober, I still have children who view me as a drunk and... and want nothing to do with me....
To be honest, I hurt them a lot! And I understand their fear of me. All I can do is stay sober and healthy and realize someday, they will want to talk, and the best "gift" I can give all of them is my sobriety. When they are ready to talk, I hope (and pray) that I am sober...
