So the news from last night has settled in. I still feel liberated, motivated, yet I celebrated my new-found energetic freedom by spending the bulk of afternoon at a bar (after being dry more than a week) racking up a $40 tab. I accomplished nothing. Why?
On the other hand, maybe what I did today doesn’t add up to nothing after all; maybe letting the news sink in, getting my emotions and critic outta my head and onto the screen, ON TOP OF a dentist appointment, amounts to something, at very least more than nothing (hello CBT!).

I'm a forty-something loving husband and father. Every day I think about how I can be the partner my wife deserves, and the dad I always wanted to be. I made some serious mistakes when I was younger, their consequences still a part of my family's life, and making up for them remains a daily goal.
Reading, and even more so writing, are also important to me. Both skills were central to my old career - before my mistakes cost me my old life - and invaluable now in the ongoing process of putting my new life together. Reading helps me understand my inner demons and mental health issues; writing helps me overcome them.
