Dec 31st 2023 I hit Rock Bottom due to my years long struggle with alcholosim. Today Jan 2nd 2024, I am broke,homeless,jobless,no car,and about to check in to an alcholism treatment center. I pray for recovery from this disease. I pray that I can overcome with treatment. Mostly, I pray to be a better father to my 2 daughters who I love dearly. Amen
