Jerry,

Im not much of a self helper or reader. I know I have some issues in my life that I have difficulty dealing with. I do indulge drinking more that I should. My wife points out many of my shortcomings to me. I know she Is right and I have a hard time accepting the facts. I am a middle child of three. My Father is a recovering alcoholic of 26 years! Congratulations to him! I know if have a problem already. I can fully relate to your situation with your wife and young family. I take away from your well written synopsis these things: I will give more freely of myself that which costs me nothing. I will Try to love and Honor my family I will stop writing this reply now and go have breakfast with them. The family cooked for me today on my Birthday! Yup, I'm 37! I look forward to future posts.

Have a good one!
