scoot & tod congrats on choosing life ,health & family over the sure doom of alcohol or drug abuse. the repercussions of which go far beyond the one abusing. my brother inlaw was a loving father & husband to my sister but had a big problem with alcohol. it costed him his life.we are a very close family and try to fill the void in my neices life the best we can , I take the girls to the father daughter events , but nothing replaces there dad. if anybody recovering abuser needs that extra strenght in the battle, look at your kids parents spouse etc and think of the hurt they would have if something happen to you. that hurt never heals. god bless, mike
