Proud parental unit

DSC02323

If you read Chuck’s blog you know he was speaking at an AA Meeting tonight.  I decided to surprise him and show up to hear him talk and I must say he is not the same person I had listened to on many previous occasions.  He is real, he is serious, and he is involved in recovery from the use of drugs and alcohol.  I have in my many years of personal recovery listened to many speakers and have spoken at meetings like this one myself, not nearly as good as Chuck, he is on a solid path to recovery and is sharing his knowledge with people searching for what he has found.

As a little sidelight, I picked up a chip for 24 years clean and sober.

A big round of applause to Chuck and for all of the hard-earned progress that he's made! He's most definitely a chip off of the old block!

Congrats to you both!

That is awesome, a chip off the ole block. I long for the day when I can say that I am once again proud of my son. It has been a bit but i know we will just keep praying!

I just went and made sure that my bullets were full of pork fat!!!
