Bluefish, welcome to the Ask God thread. Thank you for having the courage to confront the issues that are tearing at you right now. Let me say this truthfully and as plainly as I can. You are a man, my son, and I have deep thankfulness for the honesty and sincerity of your post. I have looked at life from a gutter to an angel's view from the joys of being free from the addiction of alcoholism. Nobody knows the deepness of the wounds that alcohol inflicts on a man and a family like I and other former alcoholics have personally experienced. I always had good intentions toward my loved ones and made many promises while dry. I would then pull the whole world down on my family with another relapse. Men that I know have promised their families that they would straighten up by writing in the Holy Bible that they would never touch another drop. They failed. As a direct result of my former self, I am still paying through the loss of love by my youngest son, who is now 32. He has two sons of his own who I love deeply but have been unable to see for over 3 years because of the resentment that my son holds against me that I did not even know about until a small difference of opinion with him caused him to pull them away from me. I just want you to know that I never intended to hurt anyone but the alcohol was even stronger than my love for my family and now, many deep feelings have to be mended before I can ever hope to have a relationship with my son and grandchildren again. I ask you to use what I'm telling you to realize that you must find forgiveness and understanding in your heart about circumstances you are facing. In the end you must do it for your well being. A person cannot live a happy life with the poison of resentment flooding his soul. What you can change, you must. What you cannot change, you must accept and go on with your life. I had not planned to post tonight Bluefish, but I felt led to after reading your post. Your sincerity has helped me this night more than you can know. Santiago
