My early years in recovery had amazing effect on my life. I borrow a substantial sum of money for a needed remodeled for our business, remarried a younger gal who wanted to have a family as much as I did. We had three wonderful children and began remodeling an old home for our new family. Life became very busy and demanding. I kept writing and playing, setting up studios at my locations to stick with my love for production but music had taken a back seat with the demands of everything else. It was a wonderful time in my life and I hoped it would last forever.

Later in life, after the children, my wife fell into a depression and started to become bed ridden. We did what we could, but nothing seemed to help. My father and I decided to selI the family business. I thought if that happened that we should move. Our town was fading and my children were still very young. I felt the change could help my wife and the kids could still restart easily in a new location. 

The business sold we moved south and began again. I invested into our new life and was hopeful things would turn around but they did not. Her depression over the next few years turned into anger. She filed for divorce and everything got torn down again, especially the children for she gained custody. I moved a short distance away and did the best I could. I was lost and very sad for some time. The music just left me. Thank God for recovery! Seemed like I had lost everything but my sobriety. I needed new focus and purpose.
