Interesting facts about me

I am Chris, aka "The Doc!" I am a divorced man with a wonder daughter. Amanda, 23, and two grandchildren that mean the world to me. Zackary is 2, and Izabella is 1. I will be 51 on 8/12. I am an ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics). I have the greatest brother in the world, Bob, who I've re-connected with recently. He is not aware, me thinks, of how I much admire him & well as love him. He is a gift I had walked away from years ago. I have another brother, Mark, who has not come to terms w/the dark days of our childhood and isolates from the rest of the family. I had another brother, Jeffery, who was killed in a car accident in 1986. He too, was a superstar of a brother! He is dearly missed! I have used on & off for many years. I am clean now, have a serious spiritual life in full swing, and give all credit for my sobriety and coming to terms w/me to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I've been told I am "raw" in my thoughts & feelings, and accept that as just who I am. I've tired for almost 50 yrs to be something I am not. Now it is time to just be me. Time to be a better father, a better brother, uncle, grandfather, and fellow man. So much is hitting me as I see more truths, see with clarity, and love with open arms. Even in my humble life, I see I am truly rich beyond my wildest dreams. I am also aware that I am one bad decision away from turmoil in using, and will be on guard for life. As once you've invaded your body's temple w/the poison, it remembers the schdit for life. So I hold on for dear life w/God, as to fully enjoy, and love with what I have left here. I look for His plans for me, ask for forgiveness daily, ask for continued guidance, and give Him any & all credit for anything good that comes out of me. Because I just "fudge" things up. So I know it is God working in me, and I just love His being in control! Peace to you all!

    It is amazing how God being in your life and his sweet saving grace can change you and I truly believe YOU WILL BE FINE as long as you have God with you! I have a friend who was a very bad drug user (meth included)- she found her new faith in God and has no desire to do drugs again. You love the things you hated and hate the things you love - don't know what that bible verse is - but its true. I used to be a drinker - hate it now - I was saved over a year ago and have never been a drug user but my husband has and I continue to pray for God to have mercy on him and bring him to him when he's ready!

    Thanks for your story - you are an inspiration to us waiting for our loved ones in the wings.

    Hi Paul. I'm Chris, aka "The Doc". Thank you for taking time out and giving me the encouragement. Times are a little tough, but I have vision now and see all that I am blessed with. The blessing of sobriety, it came from above, I have peace now..a little self respect, more tolerance for others,and see the good in others that I refused to see before. For I am far from perfect, and still have my faults. We all do I guess. I only ask Him to forgive me for my sins, and ask for enlightenment, and to be of service to others when I can. Oakland A's eh, I'm a Giant fans, but we are on lean times this year (LOL). I was in Oakland for a day two weeks ago. Take care, and thanks for the kind note! -Chris
