Jin,
Condos, huh? My oldest brother still lives in Addison, my ex-wife is in Elmhurst, in the house we bought together, my sister lives in Naperville and is in AA, so I know the drill very well. I had a great job in DesPlaines years ago, on Mannheim Rd (sp?), but lost it due to getting drunk and spouting off at the owner one day, so I, as well as many here, know what it's like. Losses mount up in life, alcoholic or not, but they're damn tough to deal with sometimes, and especially tough to overcome. But overcome, we must. Try looking for solutions instead of focusing on the problem, write them down, then let your mind wander, think of every solution you can think of, then try to find one that works, not a perfect one, just one that works, then give it all you've got and don't quit till you get positive results. You can do this.
Just wish the Cubs could win a world series in my lifetime, but who knows?
