Don't know if you guys remember

when I first came here, I posted about my friend who is chronically ill. She had called when I was drunk and I couldn't even speak with her. I hadn't spoken to her in in over six months. I've missed her, but was ashamed.

Well, HP has thrown me a little gift. Seems that our daughters are in the same classes in school! (that's how we met, our girls were best friends at age 4). I picked up the phone and had a long talk with her. I've told her everything that's been going on. She had no idea. (other than that phone call). She is happy and excited for me.

I have my friend back.

I'm very very grateful for that..

Thanks for letting me share..

Karen

Blessings, Karen. Blessings.

As an oldtimer friend of mine likes to ask, "Is it odd, or is it god?"

Peace & Love,
Sugah

Karen, I can imagine how heavy that burden was for you to be carrying around for all this time. What a wonderful reward to getting sober - Being able to reconnect to a friend in need. Now you can be there for her in a way you couldn't before.

Merlot -

How great for you. I've not yet been able to "come clean" with many of my friends. I just say no to the cocktail I'm very, very happy for you!
