Day 31

[Masquerade]

I am so grateful for all the support I've received here. It has been very difficult but I am perservering with your help. I honestly am truly inspired by the comraderie, tenacity and stories you share.

The emotions can be overwhelming at times ... and I am not sure where the strength resides in overcoming them ... but I am currently sober. Actually, I am weepy as I type this note, lol. What a weenie I am!!

Please say prayers for my brother Matthew. He has fought his own demons and is in ICU in Florida. Someone attempted to kill him and he is battling back from his wounds.

Thanks.

Hugs from my heart.

Masquerade..........praying for your brother........am so sorry to hear what has happened to him.

You have done very well to get this far in your sobriety.......congrats. I know it`s extremely hard not to drink when under this kind of pressure, but, seriously........you would be a fool to throw it all away now.

Much love,
