Hi folks Babs, Trachy good to see you 'back in class'
sorry for your losses, you too Peej.
As alcoholics we have seen alcohol as the answer to so many problems, but having spent so many sober days between us we also know it really isn't. I resent now, how I allowed alcohol to suppress my emotional responses to situations, it prevented me from growing as a person earlier. Now I know that if I'm in pain from loss, it will pass, it will ease. But by feeling that pain I am allowing myself to accept that the person I loved is no longer in my life physically. That said, although I've lost close family members, it might feel different if it was my Mr T or my grandson.
