    Johnnyh ... update ...

    Hey guys and girls,

    Just a little update here from my side.

    As most of you will know, I've taken a little leave of absence from MWO. I spent so much time here in the end that I neglected my family, friends and work.

    A couple of days ago on the 15th Aug, I hit the 5 months AF mark, so yes, I'm still very much on track and doing well. I seem to be settling into a nice rhythm of things now as well. The World Cup was very disruptive and at times incredibly difficult, but with that behind now, a couple of weeks later I must say I'm going well for now.

    My wife and kids are very well (we're out of winter now so at least we're through the season of colds, ear infections and everything else that goes with it )

    I can just really say that my life has been transformed. 5 months ago and a couple of days I was a depressed drunk, that spent little time with his family but all time getting drunks in pubs and on the couch in front of the TV.

    The people I meet now would probably not be able to picture that.

    I had to leave some friends behind and made new friendships along the way.

    Hey... I know it's still early days if you consider the bigger picture, that sobriety is now my life goal. But hey... all I can say i'm in a really, really happy place.

    Love you all.

    The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

    Go before that fire there, at the altar of your heart
    That fire of who you really are and be consumed by it fully
    Surrender everything into the fire of that love until you are one with that love. You ARE that love.
