This book is a compartmentalization of the non-drinking segment of the author’s life while living in the Philippines and is of the time he took on the duty of raising his two infant sons alone. All adventures in life blend together. New adventures start before the last one is completed. The author’s local wife got tired of being a wife and preferred gambling and running around. At one point she abandoned the author and his sons and went to Sweden for a couple of months to live with a boyfriend from there. The author tried and tried and sought help, all to no avail. In the end, he had to raise his sons single handed, thereby doing the last residual bit of conversion to a proper lifestyle without alcohol. He found that raising his sons was a delight and enjoyable even though a great challenge. He expanded his horizons to cooking and found nice recipes on the internet. He became a complete homebody and was contented with raising, teaching, caring for his boys, writing books and cooking. He was no longer the world traveler. He no longer traveled at all. And, surprisingly for many of you, he was contented, at least most of the time, in his new role in life. That lifestyle necessary to properly raise and educate his boys was also the kind of lifestyle necessary to extend his own life. Instead of his boys just being one thing he had to do, they became the center of his universe. Everything essential to raising and educating them became essential and everything else was rejected. Oh, he’d had daughters before and thought he knew what having sons meant but now he knew for sure. A daughter is just a daughter but a son, well he carries on the family name and that is absolutely essential. Things which he’d done earlier on for pleasure he not longer did because they did not contribute to raising and educating his boys. He considered nothing having value unless it furthered his progress of properly raising and educating his boys.
