Getting sober doesn't magically fix all of your problems, but it does make you much more capable of dealing with them.  In a ten day period, Tim got the news that his daughters had been molested, his cousin had passed away, and his wife had cheated on him.  The man from years past would have hopped in the truck, hit the liquor store and numbed the pain, and sadly left the problems to fester.  Yet, in the face of this ugliness and adversity, Tim remained strong and sober, and dealt with this seemingly impossible flood of news and events.  I was shocked when he shared this on the podcast, and even more so when he explained his incredible perspective and reaction in the face of such difficulty.  I am beyond proud of my friend Tim.
