An Ironman is hard, but nothing compared to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual hardship of life as an active alcoholic/addict. Kudos to your husband, you and your kids for your life in recovery. Thanks for sharing!

He tried, but he chose crystal over his family. Recovery does not come easy, nor does it come without a price. I do not know where he is, but his family is well and happy. Although I am sure his actions influence their daily life.<BR/><BR/>I wish your family the best and brightest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-52145884983997596582008-01-29T18:48:00.000-08:002008-01-29T18:48:00.000-08:00Oh My God Mel, my husband and I are incredibly ama...Oh My God Mel, my husband and I are incredibly amazed by this video! I am so sorry for his struggle, but how he has turned his life around to not only be the person he needs to be for himself but also for his family and others struggling. <BR/><BR/>He's such an incredible inspiration for not only people in recovery but to everyone the way that he has been there for so many people. <BR/><BR/>And not only that, hearing his story gives me that much more admiration for you. What an incredible job you do raising your 4 beautiful children, supporting your husband, and working towards fulfilling your own dreams. <BR/><BR/>You both should be extremely proud!Kellye Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322425648694764371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-46073530737194862102008-01-29T18:38:00.000-08:002008-01-29T18:38:00.000-08:00Hi Mel,I have justed viewed the footage of your hu...Hi Mel,<BR/>I have justed viewed the footage of your husband.
