Thank you, Kind Eyes. The one day at a time thing is really the only way to LIVE in a situation like this.
It's funny that it takes some major crap like this to hit the fan for me to get the power of living one day at a time -- something that I have heard for many years just in general in terms of being present and stuff like that, but now that it's like a life or death kind of situation, I'm really ready to implement it.
All that talk about hitting our own bottom and getting desperate for recovery really is true!
