Drugs took everything from me including my relationships with most of my family.

We always joke about my luck, but I am one of the luckiest , most grateful people you will ever know.
Congratulations on designing the life you want to live. Merry Christmas, and God Bless. Have a wonderful 2014 Boating season.......

Yep! congrats! not an easy task for sure! But you have to tell us HOW you made the change, what did you do to start working again and in what kind of job that led you in todays success!

Almost could ride a book I guess! could be another ''success''!
