Thanks for the warm welcome Venus and Dee. I haven't been far away, reading here almost daily, rejoicing in your triumphs and sharing your heartaches. Since June, I have been working, but the drinking has continued and has once again become daily. Enough! I am off work this week and am using this time to dry out. Day 3 today. I will be joining the class of January and look forward to a sober 2014.
Venus, I pray your father pulls through. You are an awesome daughter and he is lucky to have you.
I thank each and every one of you for sharing your experiences, you are all amazing people and touch my heart in ways you may never understand.
Wishing you all a happy and blessed New Year.
Love Odelle.
