My wife had a flat tire last week. For once in my life I (we) were able to pay for the repair and tow and got back on the road in two hours. It may sound weird to you but it’s the simple things like this that make sobriety great.

I found one of my secrets on PostSecret.com:

What sobriety has brought to my life is irreplaceable. I say that will 100% honesty.

Do you want to know one of the most romantic words in my vocabulary?
