Tim Lodgen's Journey: From 27 Years of Alcoholism to Recovery Advocate

I can't tell you how many times I waited by the front door with my bags packed and he would call and say: I can't come This Weekend, I got to work or I got to do this. He's my father, but he wanted to do his own thing. If he wants to have a relationship with me, I would accept that, and if he doesn't, I already accept that.
