Hi NM, Rob, Warrens.

Gravity. I know you can get through it without alcohol. I have read your posts and I think you have great sobriety. I really like what you are doing.

Having said that if I may.....

Ok that's what I'm talking about when I say I like what you are doing.

Do me a favor and bounce that one off your sponsor and see if he has anything to say.

Sorry to hear about your relative. This is kind of a serenity prayer moment. What you can control is you and how much love and support you give to your relatives who are around and need your strength.

You probably already know that. Take care.
