Trust me, I've been there, I've looked, I've searched and I know now, that there are no answers to be found in the bottom of a bottle or on the edge of a blade! Fighting Hard, Recovering, Rebuilding, REBORN. Moving on from addiction to a new life.
Let us not forget God when we feel trapped, He is our hope in times of testing.

Two weeks ago I chanced across a spiders web whilst on a long walk, through which I was able to capture the sunrise behind it. Along the same route this morning, although there wasn’t the clear sunrise, just blankets of mists, but the moist morning air highlighted every spiders web along the way.
This made for some great images, with the morning dew hanging off the intricate patterns of the webs, with the misty sunrise behind.

Another great day with the sun out once again, so after a lazy morning, the kids and I took to the park to soak up some sun. We had a great time, well they did especially, I sat and watch mostly, a little to old for climbing frames and swings now.
Ben found a few friends to play football with, which kept him occupied for a while, whilst Eve continued to play and the equipment, though they came together to play again, before we had a quick game of football between us.
Playing Together Peacefully
We left the park for a drink at the Pub around the corner, where they then decided they were hungry and gave those sad faces until I said we could eat there, they know which faces to pull!
They both chose their meals and I chose a burger tower which they said was like Man Vrs Food or Dad Vrs Food, when it arrived they said I wouldn’t finish it, but I proved them wrong, Adam Richman would have been proud!
Dad Vrs Food
It’s been a great weekend with the kids, Eve in particular has kept us entertained, on Saturday her scream rang throughout the house when there was a spider in the back room, you may remember how I previously saved her from a spider, well this time she took it on herself, the tiniest of spiders was hanging from the ceiling by a single thread and she was waving a brush handle at it, widely swinging and grandly missing, so I calmly scooped up the spider and put it outside, incredibly for me without pulling off one of it’s legs.
Then yesterday morning I woke to find her walking around the house dressed in a crocodile outfit, not the strangest thing I’ve ever woke to, but pretty close!
Attack of the Crocodile People
Oh well, back to work tomorrow, lots to do as usual, but I’ll be glad to get back into a routine again, plus get rid of the extra pounds I’ve put on this weekend!
THIS LIFE by THE AFTERS I come in to tuck her in I’m so tired from where I’ve been, doing all I can to stay awake As she goes on about her day, I hang on every word she says She reaches out and puts her hand in mine For a moment, we are here together And it hits me that this won’t last forever
We can’t own it We just get to hold it for a while This life We can’t keep it Or save it for another time This life
He was always there for me Now he’s fighting just to breathe I tell him it’s ok to let go As I look into his eyes, I know that this won’t be the last time But for now, we’re taking different roads For a moment, we are here together And it hits me that this won’t last forever
We can’t own it We just get to hold it for a while This life We can’t keep it Or save it for another time This life
What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through this life What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through this life What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through
We can’t own it We just get to hold it for a while This life We can’t keep it Or save it for another time This life
We were never meant to stay So we don’t have to be afraid Of what is waiting on the other side of this life
