“I was never a lover of hard liquor in my drinking days. I simply loved my beer and how it made me feel, well for a while anyway. Of course, I always loved my family more, but sadly, drinking often came first, even when I didn’t want it to. Thankfully, I found a way to stop drinking and was able to show my wife and kids more love. However, my greatest discovery was finding a love I had heard about and never experienced, which was self-love. After I learned to love myself and do so unconditionally, I was able to love people, even though I didn’t like them. Love life, even when I was going through unwanted circumstances. And forgive myself, even when I did something I didn’t like myself for.”
