“I suspect it may be like the difference between a drinker and an alcoholic; the one merely reads books, the other needs books to make it through the day."
(Interview with The Booklovers blog, September 2010)”

Well, I couldn't help but smile when I read this quote. It could have been written just for Star! Now that I think about it Star, you may be battling a dual addiction!:H
Week 3 already Friends. This month is going fast in spite of the horrid weather.
Rusty, speaking of books and reading, our friend Imus was talking the other day about how he read several books from a favorite author while he was still drinking vodka back in the old days. He said he would read them but the next day he couldn't remember what he had read. Boy did that sound familiar!
I think I read the Potter books at least twice because of that! I had to reread the next morning what had been read the preivious night. Luckily we were reading them aloud to each other, so I didn't have to cover a lot of ground! It's a wonder I didn't slur my words!
Papmom and Lav, keep the faith! This winter will soon be a memory and thanks to your AF status, it is one that you will keep clearly and forever and gratefully thru distance of time!
Cyn, are you back from the west coast? If not, I'd stay a few days longer if I were you!
We're on the tail end of another storm here. My son said the roads were awful last night when he drove to the NA meeting and there were several cars in ditches that he saw. I wondered then how an NA or AA meeting can announce a cancellation. That would kind of ruin the anonymity!:H Anyway, he said the attendance was down but he really appreciated getting to go and thanked us for keeping watch over the little ones.
Peace, strength and serenity to all.

. I guess that puts us in the "high functioning alcoholic" category. I was that for a time anyway. But eventually it got too much and I fell out of that special category....
