Hi Gyco.

Dealing with the real world outside of the the haze of AL remains the challenge. So easy through a drunken blurr, yet to discover there's a real world out there and the problems don't go away.

I luv this place because I can be myself and it helps me to rediscover who that person actually is.

Gyco,

Collateral damage. Yes. It is something my hubby is extremely worried about: That I will finally win this struggle and have done so much damage that I won't survive anyway.

Well, as you know, surviving sober is so much better than surviving drunk, no matter how much time we have left.

I love this place for exactly the same reason. It is funny, but I tell ya'll stuff I would never even say in AA. :-)

I very much hope that you recover from whatever surgery you had to go through. MWO would be a sadder place if we lost our beloved Gyco. :-(

As for alcohol, never is much better than less. Played that stupid game for years and can't go there.

Love,
Cindi

Gy, my poet friend, I've lost SO many people this year, and a few from the "Collateral Damage". The latest is a lifelong friend who put Hubs and me together when we were 15. She was the one you'd most expect to be a Southern Baptist preacher's wife, yet it's AL that killed her. She wouldn't go to the doc till she had to be carried in on a stretcher, feet first, to the ER when she was so swollen and yellow she couldn't move. I won't go into all my connections with her over the last half century; it's a tragedy, a horrible affirmation of what AL does to our lives.
Gy, I wish you would visit on the 'Journey Starts Here' thread. I miss you. And I know would get so much support and care with us. Hang in there, sweet boy.
