    • About Me

      Married 25 years, two adult children. I love outdoor activities; snowmobiles, motorbikes, RVing, fishing etc.I have a strong faith in god, or light of the creator. Lately I've been cooking alot more. I do alot of remodeling as part of my work, and I enjoy that as well. I drank for too many years, and it caused alot of the problems in my life and the lives of my family. Drinking was a big part of the failure of my marriage. Like my daughter said "who wants to be married to a drunk ? " I am determined to remain sober.

    • Interests

      Just about anything outdoors. I don't watch alot of TV, although I like Antiques Roadshow on PBS. I really enjoy riding snowmobiles high in the mountians, the speed and excitement is thrilling for me. I like walking through the woods and getting closer to nature. I quit drinking at the end of 2007, my councelor suggested it, said I was using it to escape reality and hide my pain. Life is easier without using alcohol as a crutch and I don't really miss it. I have been getting in touch with my spirituality more lately. Honesty is very important to me.

    • Close Infidelity

      I found out about my wife having an affair over a year ago and I just can't seem to get over it. She refuses to talk about it, and flatly denys anything happened. I'm in counceling and am working on my own issues. When I ask my wife to come to counceling she refuses saying we can't afford it. My response is we can't afford not too. We will have been married 26 years next month and I really don't want to end our marrage but unless I can get her to open up I'm afraid our marriage is doomed.
