Life is a journey that is full of challenges. Sometimes you see them coming and sometimes they blind side you. In the world of recovery, post divorce, and rebuilding my life, sometimes these roadblocks can seem impassable. But no matter the situation you have to keep moving. There is a famous quote that says "if you can't run, then walk if you can't walk then crawl but whatever you do keep moving".

The beginning of the journey is always important. But for me, the normalcy and how many people acted just like I was made me feel like I was o.k. It wasn't until later in life when I would realize managing the alcohol was just the beginning.

Every journey has a beginning and an end. For me the journey starts in the dar, alone, in a hospital room recovering from alcohol abuse. But it's always darkest just before the sun rises.
