I’m Not Just an Ex-Drunk

nathan

Sometimes I think HUMOROUS EX-BOOZER will be my epitaph. This is a sobriety blog, and my primary focus is helping those who suffer from alcohol addiction, but I have started thinking lately about the other things I am.  The other things I do. I am not quite as consumed by NOT DRINKING as I was six months ago.

I am heading back to The Bahamas today with Bahamas Habitat, to spend a couple of days at The Zion Children’s Home. The Home is the recently-realized vision of the women of Current Island and a safe sanctuary for Bahamian children who have been abused or neglected. ZCH is the pet project of Bahamas Habitat (pilots who fly in to serve) and I am tasked with raising awareness and garnering donations to keep it running. Our ultimate goal is to build a $2 million endowment for the long term operation and expansion of The Zion Children’s Home.

As Matt Damon said in the hilarious episode of Entourage where he strong-armed everybody into giving to his favorite charity, “COME ON! IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!”

*Nathan is not one of the residents of the home – he’s just an insanely adorable poster child…

Today I’m not drinking because I have to drive on I-95 to Ft Lauderdale and everybody goes like 90 mph!!!

How come you’re not drinking?
