I was missing you!! So, it was the puter which let you down. Thanks for having a look at my travel blog. I enjoy doing that. I guess you saw the latest about the 2 Marias. Nice to see you back.

You know in your heart what you must do. Do not go down with the ship.

You have become such a friend and now I may lose you. As an alcoholic myself I must say this to you. If you can pray for the courage to leave the situation, that may save 2 lives. Horrible truth.

I just read a letter from a shirt-tail relative who's lost his battle

with drugs. The problem with self-medicating to erase temporarily the grim reality of life is the medicine turns all the bad stuff worse. What was only miserable becomes unbearably horrible. This poem was painful to read because it's so real.

I read this poem first and then I went to the previous entry! My daughter is with a man now that is slowing destroying them both with his over indulgence in beer! It is a nightmare and your close wraps it up so poignantly for it destroys the person and those around them! Just a fine poem even though it is melancholy! sam

This is a reality for so many.  And, it's a two-way street.
For both the one who is addicted, and for the enabler,
it is heartbreak and healthbrake--emotional, psychological and physical.
May your choices be the best for all concerned.
