There was a time when it looked like the world was against me, and crashing around me. But I survived. survive is about the most Ive been doing for what seems like an eternity, but for the first time in a long time I can see the lite, and i know what direction to head into. No longer do I feel as if I am at the bottom of a hole a mile deep and a foot wide. I can see a time coming when I will be able to breath easy, relax, hang out with my kids, and finally be Mike again. My journey has been a long one, soon I hope I can make the turn, and get back onto the path to my bright future.

36 years have gone by, almost 37 now. I wasted many of them on childish things. I cant remember the exact time or place that made me finally put away my childish ways, but I am thankfull that i did.
