Smile Late Wednesday musings

Hi everyone. Here it's almost 11:30 PM and I'm just letting my mind "float" in thought. I was sharing with an "earth person" (non-addicted ) that no matte how much negativity there is between my sister-in-law and me, the fact remains that my brother and she saved my life all those years ago. I was so far gone that I was unable to reach out for help. The help had to be rammed down my throat, and I had to be made aware of my powerlessness.

Thsi came up in our conversation as I was talking about writing a long letter of thank to my brother and his wife. More so to my brother as I want him to know how grateful I am and how much of a hero he has been to me. I want to do this while he still has his mind. The Huntington's has taken its toll on him physicalloy and it's only a matter before it destroys his mind.

Lee - Great to "hear" you. Yeah, I'm hanging in there. I have a lot of discomfort (read that PAIN) if I have to walk any distance. Thank God for the car and I can still afford the insurance. Here in NYC the rates ar over $2000 a year.

Steve - Hang in there, guy. That's all we can handle - One Day at a Time.

Bats - You too hang in there. Remember, each day we live sober/clean is a miracle.

Teddie - What can I say, sweet Teddie. It's good that we are back together on the forum.

Well, I don't have any real words of wisdom. Can only offer a simple slogan that can make living a little easier: K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid

Have a great Thursday,
Citoig

Talking Hi Citoig....

So glad you posted again!

I've had a busy day and I was just getting ready to go to bed but decided I check in here first, and I'm so glad I did!!!

I think it's wonderful that you want to write a letter of gratitude to your brother and his wife while your brother can still understand what you are saying. Actually, I think it's good to write that kind of gratitude letter, sooner rather than later, to those who have helped us in any way at all.

Thanks for sharing the slogan -- always a great reminder!!

I hope this forum will become more active again... To be honest, the forum was down such a long time that I simply got busy with other things and at this point I'm not used to checking here every day.

Have a peaceful and addiction free day tomorrow....
