When I was an alcoholic for 20 years you would hear me say "family first" all the time.
It is a saying men in construction are proud of. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is they are only referring to the "material needs" of their family.
You see if I ask them how other areas of their life is going most will say "not great". If I ask if they're happy with the version they are giving their wives and kids, many men stay silent too ashamed to speak.
What does it mean?
I was using "family first" unknowingly as an excuse to continue on a path of self-destruction being an alcoholic.
I would plant that flag in the ground and swear allegiance to it while I during myself to death knowing I was losing my marriage and family.
How shit is that?
Boys, putting our loved ones first is our duty and a privilege. It is not an excuse to hide behind while we continue on a path into darkness.
Listen in fellas and follow some practical steps to create some breathing space.
You are worth it. You are not alone.
Nath
