In my sadness, a thank you

My father suddenly passed away a month ago. He was healthy and happy, and had a heart attack. He was a big part of my life, and we were very close. As you can imagine, it has been terrible for me and my family.

I wanted to thank all of you, for teaching me so much. You have tought me how to work through the worst thing that has ever happened in my life, and stay sober. I have to be honest, I did think about having a drink, but it took me but a few moments to give my head a shake. I was able to lead my brain, even in that horrible first day, around the urge to drink, and towards where my family needed me to be.

I appreciate so much all you have given me.

Sorry to here about your Father Hill.
I was close to my Father when he died from a heart attack a good few years ago and like Molly i turned to The bottle as soon as i found out, it still is one of my biggest regrets in life that i couldn't stay off it until he was buried.
I hope you can take some strength from the fact that you were able to stay strong .
My thoughts are with you and your family .

Hill - my sincere condolences :l

Be very proud of remaining AF, what a beautiful legacy to your Father that you stayed strong.

Like you the MWO-ers have been invaluable in teaching me so much and I wouldn't be the person I am today without this place.

Hillside, I'm so sorry to read about your loss. I recently lost my Dad too so understand how difficult it is. Bless you for staying sober for your family and for yourself - to be able to memorialize your Dad with a clear mind.
