Glad to hear that you are finding some peace.

Something to be be said about not judging something good or bad, too quickly.

Stay well. :thumbs:

About a year ago i was officially divorced after almost 19 yrs of marriage. I was trying to deal with the emotional arse kicking of that, trying to get sober (on my own), and trying to keep my business glued together in light of the economy basically destroying all demand for my product. Many nights i just didn't want to live, wanted to die but couldn't do that to my girls and family. It was UGLY.

Today, almost a year sober, got a great GF of 7 mths, my girls are doing great and the twins got accepted to where they really wanted to go, Appalachian State. Instead of being such a self centered prick, i'm now very involved w/ AA and doing service work, basically helping others. Business is still rough, but that's ok, it is what it is. AA and the steps forced me to deal with my demons and i am now as broke as i've ever been, but also happiest i've been since i can remember. If you would have told me last year i would feel this way i would have laughed a very cynical laugh.

Life is indeed good, and we learn from painful experiences, and it often forces us to do something about it.

Life is indeed very good

Amen to that!

I'm so happy that things are looking up for you, Frank. I'm going through something similar right now and really, really enjoyed reading your story. Congrats on the sobriety and your girls' acceptance!

Smoke something good this weekend, brother. If you can't decide what to enjoy, PM me your address and I'll send you some of my favorites :thumbs:

that's very very kind of you, but rather you send that stick to a botl here that may be down in the dumps, or had some bad luck. Thanks again for the offer :thumbs:

Well played, sir. Anyone come to mind?

haven't been round enough to say, but i'm sure there are many deserving botl's here, and this place has always gone a GREAT job of taking care of those BOTL's who need a little kindness, one thing i LOVE about this place :thumbs:

I concur and have seen it first hand. I'll keep my eyes peeled while reading on here.

Even though I have never meet or spoke with you I'm glad life has taken a turn for the better for you. Hearing you brief story and being a friend of Bill W. myself I can tell you it is no coincidence.
