My heart breaks for what you've been through, MIR, but I know your daughter would be proud to see that you've held to sobriety through it all. As you say there's no probably that alcohol can't make worse.

I really gave drinking serious consideration but no matter how I sliced and diced it I always ended up at the same spot. All that drinkng would do is to make a really horrible situation worse. I just couldn't rationalize how getting drunk would help one damn bit. So if alcohol wasn't the solution it was up to me and others to find a way to deal a situation that would rock anyone's world. I will say that I'm pretty darn proud that I won and alcohol lost.
