Thanks for your replies.

Mrs Paul? lol! I'll try that on her. If I'm not around for a while you'll know why.

She had a large brain tumour removed last year. Her recovery has gone well, except that she has developed epilepsy. I can't imagine what would have happened if the fellowship hadn't been in my life. I would've drunk on her tumour, because I would've been obssessed about what it meant for me. I've been able to make some little amends. Both to her and the kids, by being able to support her through last year, when she lost her dad also. I've been able to doit because of the gift of acceptance, something which was entirely alien to me before AA. And acceptance as we know, not being the same as indifference. I became an asset to my family instead of an unstable liability. Today I still am an asset.

I'm growing up. Maybe I am still sick. But I am recovering.

Love to all. There are many things people write here which have an impact on me. Sometimes that impact comes days or weeks later. I feel strongly that it adds to my recovery.
