| My thoughts are with you Lilbit as well as Dori and her Family. Could we also add Matt's name to the list of people who this disease has recently taken? He's a young man, 19 years old, who had been strugging with heroin addiction for years. I just found out this morning that he O.D.d last week, was in a coma for 5 days and passed away on Friday. This disease doesn't care who you are. It doesn't discriminate. It simply wants to take as many victims as it can. And yes, it CAN happen to YOU! I hope everyone who reads this will keep this in mind as lilbit says All Day . . . Just for Today . . . One Day at a Time God Bless & Thank God . . . Just for Today, Judy

Once again...thank you. I stayed busy by moving the lawn (I HATE doing THAT...but my husband ACTUALLY watched the kidz and just let me be...big yard and a gas push mower does wonders....like thinking of not much of anything...(guys...I GET IT!) And plenty of people came over and we all talked....about much of nothing....ghost haunted the moments many a times....every pause....ahhh...well....it's just too bad. Funny thing was....some people went on and on how they tried to help her...how she was doing sooo well...Bullmuffins...I just saw her a few days back....drunk....only drinking wine and staying away from the crack...morebullmuffins...all the negotiating...and getting nowhere. She even bitched at me about not doing the program...then gave me a big hug...said she loved me....up and down up and down...death can bring out the worst feelings and emotions. I will not die a drunk and drug addict. No...not today...all day...one day at a time. Thank you for letting me share that.

| Esh A short time back I shared in here that I had landed a job at a MH/SA Facility. It didn't pay the bills so I had to let it go for a higher paying one, (another story). Anyway, during the my short time there as a counselor, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet several addicts and alcoholics. Your sharing has brought one in particular to mind. This gentleman came to us tore up!! to say the least. He had had a rough time of it lately and it showed. What also showed was his desire to get clean and recover from his hopeless situation. He wanted to be sober! Within days you could see a difference in his eyes and in his speech although his body was worn out and it showed. When asked "how ya doin today?" he just shrugged his shoulders, and touch briefly on that moments discomfort. Then he would either talk about family (his part) or ask about our recovery (how did we do it). He never missed a group or meeting once he detoxed. I came to work one day to find he had died sometime in the night and was realized to be dead by his roommates. The talk of the day was about how friendly he always was and how he had spent his money on things for others over the last couple days. Bought some cigarettes, a "Just For Today" a Big Book and a Basic Text only to give them away. You (I) could tell that he was always in some physical pain daily. Regardless of this, he thought of others. And to his dieing day he was clean and selfless without neglecting himself, if only for a moment in time. I firmly believe that when you get it 100% (humanly) right, God brings you to Him. I don't know if this helps Lilbit, what you shared reminded me of this man and how he touched my life in only a few days. "I" understood what God was telling me then as "I" understand what he is telling me now through you and the passing of your friend. Peace be onto you...Asalam Alaikum Vios Con Dios...Go with God and God Bless

First things first...thank you. But I will be meeting with my friend's daughters on Friday.... The last time I spoke with Dori, she said her daughters wished she was dead and hated her. Now...I was the last person to speak with her and I have NO IDEA what to say to her daughters. Dori was also drunk when I last spoke with her....eeeyikes. Really...what do I say? |

We leave a he!! of alot of wreckage behind as drunks and addicts. My Laura and Jordan deserve to have their own feelings, and there's no use in me feeling sorry for myself, I got here on my own just like Dori. So try not to begrudge them even in the name of the recently departed. If none of this is possible it's possible to say nothing-right?
