Summer 2005
It's been a while since I have had the time to sit and write at any length at all. My life is incredibly rich and full. Years ago, when I was a Moonie, we used to have to chant that phrase over and over again whenever we were "fighting it out". Today, rich and full comes from the heart and has new meaning. Working and living in sobriety has brought a whole change of life that keeps on getting better.
A couple o f weeks ago, I was able to return to New England for an eight-day vacation...and what a wonderful vacation it was. I was able to see family that I don't see very often (though we e-mail). I was able to spend time with on-line friends I have made and had never actually met until now. What a grand time that was!! Rollercoasters and waterparks... I was able to go sailing and hiking off the coast f Maine. I was able to go swimming in the Caribbean before I actually left for vacation. I was able to be with and share with people that I would not ordinarily get to spend any real time with. I was able to speak at a recovery center in Central New York. I was able to share at a meeting in Waltham, Massachusetts. I missed a hurricane here in Key West! I drove 1493 miles all over New England and New York in a rental car. I ate at nice restaurants and roadside snack places. I had clams and oysters...and real Maine lobster!!
I stayed sober.
Life is good -- very good indeed.

Hopefully, I have the right person. I believe I do. Chris from new hope, raytheon and the maron company. I have often thought about you. I hoped of course you were able to get sober. I have so many good memories of our friendship. Many, many great times!
I am married with two boys. It's funny we spend alot of time in south florida, miami mostly and recently we were in the keys.
I hope you find peace and life worth living with out alcohol. I have overcome many demons in my life and have come through. I had someone to help me. We all grow up I guess.
Warmest regards,
Derek
