Sometimes I'm pretty sure I don't see all of the posts when I'm using the app on my iPad. I don't see Haf's picture, for example. It's like the whole post isn't even there.

Yeah - I just switched back to the website and now I can see it. I think it has to do with exactly how pictures are posted. The app must not work with all methods of posting. Or something. I'm just guessing.
glad you're feeling better Marty.

Well gang - I'm heading to bed. I'm so relieved that I'll be ok to get to work tomorrow. Calling in sick on day 4 of a new job was not something I wanted to do. Have a great night, everyone.

I just saw a photo of a cousin I haven't seen in a really long time. She's gained a ton of weight and honestly, I wouldn't recognize her if I saw her on the street.
Her mom, my dad's sister was a heroin addict for years. Her family was destroyed by her drug use and ultimate abandonment. Anyway....my Aunt's clean now, but the effects on her kids is still very evident. Addiction is rampant on both sides of my family. Both my grandfathers were alcoholics and although they found AA in the later years, the destruction they brought to their families could never truly be repaired. I guess I feel lucky to have ended the cycle in my life. And I know luck has nothing to do with staying quit, but stumbling upon SR was lucky because this is where I learned that I have the power to say no and change my life.
Seeing that photo reminded me that addiction comes in a lot of different forms and just makes me sad for everyone that still suffers. I'm going to make it a point to reconnect with this cousin .....if for no other reason than to tell her I love her and have fond memories of our growing up days.
