Being sober is a blessing in so many ways. It is a blessing for her, other loved one's, and me. To be there for her 100% beings joy even in dark times.

Sorry to hear you are going thru this MI, 28 is such a young age....... these are strange times indeed. I hope that new drug works as intended and all of this goes away.

Maybe if the evil people at the top would stop deliberately FLOODING the environment with their chemicals and the potent estrogen mimicers our young women would not be getting cancer at like 23 years old......... it's just ridiculous, but i digress.

Go back just a couple hundred years and you will find no mention anywhere of "cancer", "diabetes", "alzheimers", AIDS, or anything like that.......... we really are our own worst enemies.

Sending good wishes to you and your daughter. It must be a terribly difficult time for you and your family. I respect and admire you for staying strong and sober at this dark time.

I always tell myself that if something happens to one or more of my children that is the one thing that could shake my sobriety. But that certainly isn't honoring them or myself or my faith. Thank you for being such a strong example and inspiration. You and your daughter are in my daily prayers.

To say my sobriety has not been rattled would be a lie but when I play the tape all the way though I know drinking is not going to take me anywhere good. So the only real choice there is to put my faith in God and live in the moment. My daughter's outcome good or bad is not in my control. What is in my control is how I deal with it.

I'm glad you shared that hopefulness with us MIR. I pray her feeling better will continue. So proud of you for being determined to stay in the moment. Many of us would have faltered. Prayers for your family to be comforted will be ongoing.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your daughter. I used to work in cancer research (clinical trials). There were a lot of very promising drugs for treatment and some of them ended up working very well. My primary was prostate cancer but they are coming far in all cancer fields. I pray for peace and success. I know first hand it is a very tough place to be though my girl was much younger...When my daughter was sick... The hardest part was the fear of the unknown. Trust God
