The Key to Forgiveness

I've got two children, Ali and Erin, ages sixteen and seventeen, whom I love very much. When they were little, they gave me the unqualified love that children give to a parent, but as they grew older my drinking began to take its toll. I looked up one day from the fog I was in and I was alone. My wife had divorced me, taken the kids, and moved away. Everything I'd ever worked for was gone. I was as low as I'd ever been in my life, and I thought I was going to die but somehow, by the grace of God, I was able to stop drinking.
