Having a bit of a troubling time at the mo, everyone I love seems to be dying, a close member died last night, i have not drank on it, and the program has met its "acid test" as it says in the big book, its just nice for me to be strong when other people are breaking down, I can be there for them, in the past it would have been an excuse for a drunk
Over these months past, Robert, I've seen you go thru so many changes, and learn to deal with so many things. This post just warms my heart, albeit it is sad when we lose those we love. But like you said, now you can be there for others, and what a wonderful thing that is. Be good to yourself, you're in my prayers, love wren
