your not alone in this one paulos . ever since i was a kid i struggled with memorie problems . and add booze and it didnt get any better , axually got worse . But ive learned that workin with my own self reading things that i find interesting or i want to know or learn has made a big difference . its liek they say in aa .. take what you want and leave the rest , well thats what i do when i read thenewspaper online find things that interst me . books if they dont grab my attention in the first chapter , its not gonna get read and ill give it away . The BB still tho its of interst to me i find hard to remember all ive read so i re-read it often . Andif forced to read something and say take a test .. definatly aint workin for me thats part why i never graduated HS . Ive tried studying the book to get my GED but so much that i should of learned earlie in my life i never did , Its like being in the 4th grade for me basic fractions i should know at the age im at but no i need help and i have asked for help ill get that GED one day on my own time but cant force the mind to remember .can only try to retrain what you can . I dont know if my share helps you . just know your not alone , try not to be so hard on yourself . i know its tuff some days but the sun will shine and your sober thats whats important .. keep posting hun
