Hi everybody my name is Jim and I am from Albany, NY. I am a father of a 2 year old little girl who I have custody of. I have had epilepsy for the last 17 years and seizure free for the last 12 years. I am also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and have been sober for 19 months. My life has turned around so much since I take control of my life with GOD by my side. I am here basically to introduce myself and hopefully meet some people who I can share my experience with and anything else people want to talk to me about. Anyone can email me at jpolaro@mail.nysed.gov To let people know I am like an open book. I am trying to meet some friends. Being in recovery and being epileptic I dont' have many friends. My best friend is my daughter. I love her so much. If anyone wants to see a picture of her go to my personal viewing spot or just ask and I can email it to you. Just looking for some friends so I don't have to feel so lonely all the time. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a good day and GOD bless you all.
