She has momentary psychotic breaks where she talks about purple elephants and whatnot. She is shaky and crying all the time and she knows she has brain damage from drugs and alcohol and keeps asking me "God will heal me right? Oh God, I am so scared...what if this is it?" I stay sober because I do not want to end up like that. I pray God will heal her but I don't know....
Yes, by the grace of God there go I.

A man who I sponsor went out a while back and ended up in the hospital for about a month. A few operations later and add a stroke on top of everything else. He now is in a convalescent home with part of his memory gone.

He paid a very heavy price for that last booze outing.
