The old expression, what a difference a day can make, is without a doubt true.

My life was in the shitter, everything seemed to be going wrong, I felt that life had no meaning any more, consumption of hard liquors had become a near daily fixture again in my life, and thoughts of going to sleep and never waking up were becoming the norm.

But not any more! After hitting rock bottom, a weird twist of events (I'd like to think it was the grace of god), I'm here today--thinking clearly about life's choices, and making plans for a better today, and an even better tomorrow.

Sure there will still be rough times ahead...that's life! But you have to deal with it head on... not bury your head in the sand (alcohol) and think you're going to hide, or that it's just gonna go away on it's own.

So here's to life! And a second chance to make a difference in the world...
