Sitting at my stepmother's deathbed in the nursing home where she and my father reside. He is here in a recliner they've set up for him to sleep. Glad I am a sober, dependable person at times like these.

Sending warm thoughts your way, earlyriser.

It is truly a blessing that you can be fully present for your stepmother and father.

Sending prayers for all, too.

Sorry to hear what you are going through earlyriser. It is good you are facing it sober.
If the AV shows up remember that it's better to ask for help than to give in.

Yes, another one of the many reasons to not drink. I imagine your Dad if very glad to have you there. Good thoughts your way, I've been in similar circumstances and know how hard that is.
