Back At It!!!

Hey!!! It's been a while but I am back for a few reasons. One, I have been feeling like something is missing in life for me. I thought it was Tim Tebow at QB for an NFL team but that wasn't the case. I realized that this blog helped me get through some rough times and, as I am in the midst of a new chapter of life, I need an outlet to not only help maintain my sanity, but also help someone else out there who may need a laugh or some words of encouragement. In future blogs, I'll discuss my current situation as now I have a girlfriend and a son (actually a dog who acts just like a child but its okay.) I mainly wanted to speak about some words that I heard the other day. As many in the Metropolitan area know, the big homie CC Sabathia checked himself into rehab for alcoholism. As many of you know through my blogs, I have had my issues with alcohol (still do) so I commend anyone who admits they have a problem and wants to try and fix it. But then I listened to the ex football player Cris Carter discuss his issues with alcohol, which I didn't even know he had, and the raw emotion that he spoke with really resonated with me. You could hear him getting emotional as he talked about some of the things he has had to go through to get and stay sober. The words really spoke to me and made me think that I needed to get back on track myself. I know that I had been in a comfort zone and, while not drinking like I used to, I saw myself slipping into bad habits. I could just be jumping to an extreme. But I see that even a few beers, while not major at the time, is a set up or a big time relapse. I don't ever want to even be in that situation. So I'm back here, rambling on my soapbox and talking about the life I have had and want to have going forward. This blog served as a way to keep me sober and so, even if it is for selfish reasons, I am bringing it back so that it helps me and others who may need it. I know I am all over the place here but I needed to get this off my chest a little bit. Ill be more focused next time. Don't worry, though. The foolery will return very soon.
