I'm so glad for you, Charles.

I believe that alcoholism is a disease in the same way that cancer is. We wouldn't think to get angry at someone because they have cancer. Of course your Dad's abuse was unforgiveable but the human being underneath was doing the best he could with what had gone before.

Huge congratulations to you for breaking the cycle. I'm so cheering for you on that front.

I love the quotes and the happy ending. 💚
