Break Time

A tradition for the past 15 years is to spend a week in Imperial Beach, California with my children and grandchildren, around a dozen of us. 

We rent a couple of condos on the beach and don't do much but hang out, play, and relax. It's a time for us to catch up. And it's a great way to beat the mid-summer heat in Arizona. At least for a minute.

So by the time anyone reads this we'll be in 40° cooler temperatures. Not to rub it in or anything..

And I would never be able to enjoy times like this if I hadn't finally surrendered and went into detox over 22 years.  And that's really the point of this blog, to carry the message to those TLC clients who sometimes wonder what's the point of sobriety?  I mean I'm sober. But so what? What's next?

And what's next - if one has the patience and is willing to work hard - is a great life where one can do anything they choose to. It simply requires patience and ongoing sobriety.

I've seen over and over again that those who stay sober achieve their goals.. Many go back to school. Some are reunited with their families. Others might start a business. The opportunities are unlimited if one just starts living one step at a time.

We simply have to reach for it.
