| Back again - clean and sober
Dear friends, I´m so sorry I was away without saying hello, but I´ve been so incredibly busy, I lost sight on everything I had to do. I also got depressed, but thank God, I am still clean and sober. I had problems with my eyes and had long and difficult tests, as I went for a second opinion. I am in a definite risk group, but all in all my eyes are fine. I just have to have my eyes checked every three months. This is why I became depressed. The thought of becoming blind crippled me emotionally. All of you who read this, please have a second or even a third opinion. Turns out this eye doctor was nuts to tell me I would lose my eye- sight within three years and go blind. She has been reprimanded by the proper authorities. I had three different eye-problems at the time, so she got way off base. And now I have to buy an appartment. We are moving and I have four months to buy a new place. I have stressful discussion with my banks, so I´m excited and scared. I am happy to see you all and I love you.

Hi Lilya, It's good to see you! I remember the story about your eyes and I am so glad to hear that things are much better than you thought. It does seem that we have to be our own advocates in situations like that, doesn't it!

Hey Lilya, Welcome back and I'm glad that you were able to maintain your sobriety, in spite of all of the stress that you've dealt with. I too, remember the story about your eyes. I'm relieved to hear that your eyes are okay. Good luck and have fun, apartment hunting. Wow, a fresh new start in a new place and you get to see it all !!!!! That sounds exciting to me.
