I saw my kids for the first time in three and a half years a month ago.
It's a slow process, but it's a step in the right direction. When It comes to the family afterwards sometimes a lifetime isn't long enough to fully make amends for what you've done.

All I know is I've probably got another 30 or 40 years to go and that's lot longer than most alcoholics get even the first time round, hell it's more time than most non-alcoholics get to spend building relationships with their kids.

You are right - short of praying there's probably fuck all you can do for your friend

All the best

Have a click, Sir!
for being open and honest. Stay on the tracks, or as they say in Lincolnshire, Drive Between the Ditches!
