I am so sorry for you, Leo....and the pain never ceases.

I am sorry to read about your daughter. Our children are our precious possessions and we hate to see them get involved in drugs and alcohol. I thought this was going to happen to my daughter. She has other health issues now contributed a lot to her alcohol and drug use. She has shortened her life considerably by abusing her body.

Leo: My heart goes out to you. I understand Alcoholism because it runs rampant in my family. It took the life of my birth father and also my ex husband. My birth father died of complications due to years of alcohol abuse. My ex died on the table during a second liver transplant. I have a sister that was murdered by her alcoholic ex husband whom had been living with her. She was also an alcoholic. I have another brother and a sister in Colorado that are definitely high functioning alcoholics. Many years ago I felt my life was spiraling out of control and that my drinking was becoming a problem. I stopped drinking and found whatever support system I could. It's been many years since I've had a drink. My husband also doesn't drink. It's been about 27 years for him. Please know that there are people that do understand you pain. I hope you find comfort in knowing that. Bruja The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little. W. R. Inge

Bruga Thank you for your kind thoughts about my 'Sad Day' but when I read the problems you have had with your family, they have made mine seem insignificant. I can only imagine what you have been through. Stay strong. Leo

leo: Thanks for your reply. God gives us strength to endure in times when we feel we might lose our minds. I've been blessed to find a way out of all the pain and muck that has surrounded me and my family. My husband Mac has also endured a GREAT deal. He had a death in his family due to alcohol abuse - losing someone very close to him. This is one of the things that has brought us together. When we started talking online there was something he had mentioned about the 12 steps. I picked up on this and asked to talk to him via email. The rest is history. Mac has helped me to forget all the pain and I can only hope I have done the same for him. I hope my sharing helps you as well. If you need someone to talk to feel free to get in touch with either of us. We would be happy to give you any in-site we can. Hopefully you have found comfort in my words and thoughts. You are not alone. Bruja The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little. W. R. Inge

My dear friend Leo My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you for the loss of your daughter two years ago. I lost my only daughter aged 36 yrs because of numerous illnesses. It's been 14 years since she died & at first I didn't think I could handle all the pain. It took me a long long time to "let go" & gradually I was able to.I prayed daily for strength & comfort which helped me. I understand all about alcoholism because I am a recovering alcoholic & almost died because of liver damage.I'm glad to say I have 25 yrs sobriety. You will be in my prayers, may God comfort & bless you take care, Gwen
