This is going to be a tough birthday coming up Friday :weary:. Went away recently for 30 something days to get help only to find out while I was away my wife is divorcing me after 10 years and after getting out my truck broke down and has been in the shop and probably won’t have it in time by Friday to see my kids and will be spending it alone.

I’m sorry to hear this brother. I too went through this as I was served papers for divorce while I was in treatment. I can say that after 2-1/2 years of attorneys and the cost I’m finally done with that phase of my life. It was tough as heck to go through a diversion and achieve sobriety at the same time. I’m 28 months into sobriety and working the AA program for my sobriety not to get my family back. That made this time of sobriety really mean something. Hang in there, go to meetings, read books, pray and meditate. Your life will get better. You got this… sobriety and my son was the only things I care about…

I appreciate the encouragement it’s needed. I’m also glad you got your life back on track for you and your son.

Thank you, I work the AA program daily. It’s changed my life. Sometimes I wish my Wife would have stayed so we could live joyous but now I pray for her to live a joyous life.
I pray for you too my friend
