My daughter doesn’t get to schedule when she needs her dad.
So I don’t get to schedule when I’m ready to be him.
My job is to be ready.
Anytime.
Any place.
Every single day.
And I make sure my kids know I am.
I’ll never have to tell them, “I’ve been drinking. Let me find someone to drive.”
That’s a promise I protect with the choices I make.
This isn’t a shot at anyone. It’s a question worth asking yourself:
When life happens, which version of you is showing up?

If you're a parent who drinks... Good on one sec. Hey, baby. You mean to come get you? Where you at? Alright. I'll be right there. If I had been drinking, what would my plan be? Because she's tier, and when she needs her dad, she needs her dad. And whatever is happening is happening right now. That's just something I don't ever wanna leave the chance. I need to be able to get in my truck and no. Sober, clear headed, and able to protect her with everything I have. And there was a time where this kept me from being able to promise that. Today, I can. There's nothing I good drink that is worth giving up the ability to be the father that she needs in that moment. And that is one of the greatest gifts sobriety has given my family. The people that I love most never have to wonder which version of me is gonna answer that phone. My daughter doesn't get to schedule when she needs her bad, so I don't get to schedule when I'm ready to be him.
