Mike and I had a long talk today about my drinking. Its hard for him to understand that I'm an alcoholic, but he will do whatever it takes to help me through this. Its hard for me to understand how someone who doesn't have a drinking problem can just have one drink, but I realize that I can't expect everyone to quit drinking around me. He called to ask me if it was okay for him to drink while he was working on his truck. He #1 wanted to ask even though I wasn't even home, and #2 wanted to make sure that I would be okay if when I got home he had had a few. Every day that goes by he shows me something that makes me wonder how I lived my whole life with the likes of Tom Spangler. I thank God every day for the opportunity to experience a real, but very normal relationship.
I am filled with humility by all of this but reminded of how lucky I am to have such a great support system. To God, Mike, my parents, and all of my friends thank you!
