I have been sober for 5 years, alongside a loving wife who never gave up on me - even when I was ready to give up on myself.

What you speak of is real, it is powerful, and unfortunately only found by a lucky few.

'...my self-destructive tendencies do not just inflict pain upon me—they cast shadows over your joy and peace.'

A profound and very true statement. I think it's fair to say that many of us tend not to realize the effects of our own negative, harmful tendencies on our loved ones/those close to us, as we're too caught up with our own problems.

Heartwarming article, Andrew.

It is beautiful but in some way it also hurts. Love hurts and it is such a sacrifice.

The visual represents what is.

Do you see an agenda when it comes up?

Why?

Did this question pop up immediately upon seeing the thumbnail?

Sure, but why would I have that agenda?

Perhaps that's simply the makeup that represents my own situation?

I’m white and married to a black woman.

And this is a letter to her.

This is so nauseating. Take your BS elsewhere.
