Dear FABL, I am happy to see you posting in our group again. Stay close!
Dear Ladybug, I was thinking about you yesterday and was worried. I'm glad you've checked in.
To both dear ladies, please don't give up. I knew for at least a decade that my drinking was abnormal. It took me two slips after I joined SR to realize that yes I am an alcoholic and that henceforth, I don't drink. It does get better. I've had a very rough time this last while, but I feel better and am happy to allow myself to be optimistic once more. You will both get there!
Venuscat, I'm sorry about your job. I do get the lonely feeling. I'm glad for all of you here. My one single girlfriend just got engaged. I'm happy for her of course, but I'm seeing a lot less of her.
