It's been a few months since my last visit - extra work obligations due to the effects of covid restrictions on our staff have kicked my butt. Finally back and so happy to finish this story and see there is a sequel to start. I love having a front row seat to this journey Brian is on.

I am so interested in a sequel, praise the fanfic lords.

This is one of the best stories I have read in a while. Your characterization of Brian was so spot on. Your development of his journey to sobriety caused much thinking on my part. While I thankfully do not have an alcohol addiction I do have a food addiction and so many of the topics were so relatable. I never liked Michaels character but isn't it sad that he just could not get out of his own way to support Brian. I do look forward to your sequal. Thank you for sharing your gift of fantastic storytelling with us!

Sorry I didn't comment for a few chapters. As it's the end and you already started a sequel, I wanted to let you know that it would be more than welcomed.
From the kiss to the matress store, which was a big surprise, to this last chapter, I love how you made Brian strong enough to manage his way to sobriety without Justin.
Of course, I would love to read how their relationship develop and also how Gus' summer activity will enhance his relationship with his father.
If in the end, Brian gets custody AND a strong relationship with Justin, I'm all for it.
Thank you for this beautiful story :)
Author's Response:

Cleo sounds amazing and the perfect match for Brian.
I hope Gus and Justin get to hang out soon, and our boys together of course. I miss them together so muchhhhh
Author's Response:
I like Cleo and think he will be good for Brian. He is very different than Justin.

Argh, I already miss our boys being in the same room together. But Brian needs to find a new sponsor, and fast! I love how you have included Blake in Brian's journey.
Author's Response:
Brian is opening his family circleand Blake is part of that circle.

My heart is hurting for Brian. He needs Justin now more than ever, but he needs him in many different ways, ways that cannot be crossed :(
Author's Response:
Brian needs to figure out who he is and what he wants. Justin will hopefully be there too.

Firstly, I love that Brian has Ted to talk to. He really needed to vent and discuss everything with. And argh, thank GOODNESS Justin decided to show up that night. I was worried he'd leave it until after the weekend because he was too freaked out. Come on boys, admit you're going to give it a try, please?
Author's Response:
Ted is really helping Brian with his sobriety. Justin and Brian are still working on being together.

Ooooh, I think I love Jeremy already. He seems like a really good person in Justin's life and he really needed that chat with him. Let's hope Brian agrees to what he suggests :)
Author's Response:
Jeremy is a great guy. He is really helpful for Justin.

I have been offline for a few months and I was so excited to come back to this story. Oh. Justin, running away will surely make it worse, right? Agh!!!!! I am loving all this sexual tension :)
Author's Response:
So glad you are able to get back to the story. Lots of sexual tension to be resolved.

It is 3:45 AM, and I literally just screamed at you! Sandy... Darling.. Homegirl of my heart.. Please PLEASE give me my drug, which is this story.
In all seriousness though, there are so few authors, both within the Fandom and apart from it, whose work I am totally invested in where I literally drop whatever I'm doing (which at the moment is working on a paid GW gig) to immediately read their latest installment. I count you among them. This work you've written- are writing- is so special. The message is powerful and ultimately so important that not continuing with this journey would actually be a disservice. I truly believe that. As someone whose family members have, and still are, working the steps and seeing their stories actually told with this type of sensitivity has really been a balm.
And I sincerely thank you for it.
Hugs and Love Always

Am glad to see that Brian is opening up to Ted and Blake. I think he knows it wouldn't work if he opened up with Mikey.
Author's Response:
I think Mikey is out of the picture at this point in Brian's life.

Hopefully Brian finds a woman to sponsor him. Maybe Daphne? Then, after thinking about things and Gus missing Justin a lot, he contacts him?
Author's Response:
Unless Daphne has an addiction, whe wouldn't be a good choice. Only people who have been in recovery for at least a year are considered suitable for sponsorship. But that was a great idea.
