My nickname is Pat. I am a 56-year-old male, Caucasian, 6"2". Blue Eyes, Brown Hair. Open minded, Honest. Easy Going, Patient, Honest and Reliable. Do not Drink or Smoke.

I like dining out, theater, movies, camping, fishing,  amusement parks, going for walks, bicycling, YMCA, and trying new things.  Enjoy fellowship activities, Including Recovery programs and events. I am a devout Christian and have my faults. I submit myself fully to Jesus Christ and try my best to due his will. The clean and sober life style is real important in my life.

The Spiritual part of my recovery has been very important to me. Especially like being recognized as a Christian in recovery and a believer from start of recovery. My recovery is my only social outlet really. Have lots a friends in it and participate in additional activities like Dances, Potlucks, other get together or camp outs when possible.
I attended Graduate school at Drake University here in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Have a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Administration. I used to work with mentally and physically challenged people in their Group homes. I did this type of work for about 20 years, Since since 1991.
I a have applied for Social Security disability and long term disability in Nov. 2010. Due to Depression and obesity from over eating and thyroid disorder I did not know I had until July 2011. Also after I quit smoking in 1994, I used food to replace cigarettes. I am getting back into regular exercise now.

I am seeking a woman who will take me as I am and love me just as I am. Doesn't mean I stay as I am as there is always room for growth. Of course I am here to find that on woman that I can live the rest of my life with. I like a woman that is trustworthy, honest, lives a clean and sober lifestyle most of the time. Some drinking is okay but I don't at all due to my alcoholism. I am a Non Smoker
I am currently an active Christian at a Lutheran Church and attend regular Sunday services.

Have done similar things through First assembly of God Church for 10 years, previous to that. I have been sober since 12-24-82.
