I've been concerned that people might interpret this article in a way that it was not intended; as an attack against them or a way for me to toot my horn but I think everyone "got it". Congratulations to everyone who has become sober in their own lives, I know how challenging that can be but I can also say that it was worth every day of struggle. I hope to see you around on Hundred Goals! Keep up the good fight! Thanks so much to everyone for their positive comments.

I hope to pursue my dreams and become as accomplished as many of the bloggers associated with Frugal dad. I almost always feel different from most people out there. I never got caught up on drugs or alcohol. I don't even remember the last time I had a drink! I have always tried to figure out where I should be going. I wish I would have been able to figure it out earlier in life, but I have no regrets. Steven, congratulations on your accomplishments!
