Im sorry I never responded. I did enjoy your post and went to read about him when you posted. I was in fairly bad shape at that point and I have made extremely great progress(I think) since that point.

Between this post and your encouragement to stop drinking I have been in a better mood and so much more productive! In fact the days since I read this I have spent time every day working on my bathroom renovation which I have been working on for two years due to procrastination and fear, sad I know. Today I am cleaning which is rare and I have been doing things with my kids as well.

I also thought that story about the speech was awesome, I never knew about that until I read about him the other day
