Awakening

I sometimes look back at what I once was and the life I had been living. It was not a pretty sight. It was filled with lies and deception and I was actually proud of my drugs and the way I acquired them, not to mention the women who sometimes accompanied that life style. But what changed all of that was the day my fiancée announced the fact that I was going to be a father. Well let me tell you it was a major kick to the family jewels because at that moment I suddenly realized that so many things had to change and ASAP. I could no longer be so irresponsible about myself and my life. Since then I’ve been clean and sober for a total of about 61/2 months and it has brought me closer to my fiancée and I felt good about myself knowing that now I don’t have to steal, cheat or lie. Any money that I have was legitimately earned and with that comes a lot of respect not only from my peers but from myself as well. In three months I will have a beautiful baby boy to devote all my love and attention to the there is no better feeling in the world than the feeling of love and success.
