Oh my heavens, I read this about a month ago and saved it to my favorite poems so that I could read it again. I am so glad that I did but saddened and embarassed it has taken me this long to comment it.
This write is magnificent and reading it the first time didn't do it the justice it deserved. The magnitude of this write if one truly understands it if so powerful. There is so much to be said for someone who can finally overcome the stronghold the brew can have. Many addictions are out there and for the sound of your childrens laughter to be the most important one is remarkable. The wife sticking through it to make new memories is awesome. I was simply in awe of this write and wished I had thoroughly read it the first time. I will definitely be looking forward to more of your writes.
Take Care,
Kay

Thanks Kay ... I still enjoy a Guinness, but with things in their proper perspective ... family is #1, to be sure
