You Just Broke Your Child. Congratulations.

I've definitely thought about volunteering but not to find a sense of value. I don't care about squeezing out bits of value in a mostly useless life. I don't want mine and would give it away for free if I could.

Anyway, for my father's day text, I'm going to send it in a few and say "Happy EARLY Father's Day." There's something less authentic about early and belated wishes. That's what I'm going for.

So the only reason I take such interest in it is because of my own struggles. Six years ago I was at the bottom of the barrel with my drinking. I didn’t have the balls to take my life but couldn’t even imagine going on living. I lived some of that out on a thread here. What happened to me was some kind of miracle, and I don’t mean that to sound to religious. But I got a new lease. What I found in sobriety was something like a second childhood. I had a group of seven guys I was helping learn to read when I first got sober.

anyway, I’m sorry it’s this way for you. I’d help if I could. This group was incredibly supportive of me, so I would t hesitate whenever you need to talk.
