it sounds crazy to some, but i needed to hear this. its a cunning,baffling, powerful, patient, and deadly disease. it may sound cruel, but i am glad she is strapped in a bed instead of someone else dead by her drunken actions. i forget sometimes that its the disease of alcoholism and not the person.
i recently( in the last 2 weeks) heard of a man that had been sober for 20+ years that went back out. i knew him and he had an excellent message. he went back out and was dead in 24 hours. another one went out and had killed a person 2 days into a return to drinking.
but there has been awesome news,too! a man that was there when i 1st got into recovery passed away with 47 years of sobriety! a woman i know celebrated 28 years of sobriety! another man with 10 years of sobriety and in his mid 40's bought his very 1st brand new car! and a young man in his teens walked in to a meeting desperate and willing to do whatever he has to do to stop drinking!!!
