I grew up in a single mother household after my parents split up when I was about 5 years old. My mom did great job providing for the four of us. She taught us good morales and standards to live by. As a grew older I moved out of state to live with my father.

Since I was in a new state and a new home I wanted to start fresh with things. While living with my father he taught me a lot of good life lessons. Years later I moved out since my father and I were not getting along. I couch surfed for a bit... that is when things started going out the window. 

When I moved in with my best friend my drinking intake when up 10 fold. We would go out every night and party. I met a lot of interesting people. The best thing was I did was I met my wife. 

When I started dating my wife my drinking came to an almost complete stop. I only really drink when I am at holiday functions, sometimes. Since I have been married for almost five years I started to gain some happy weight. So I need to do something  about.
