Liz, Thank you for the birthday wish. It was one of my best birthdays ever! Well, except for the fact that I was still haunted by my gambling the weekend before. And, yet, it reminded me that there are healthy escapes from reality.
Someone posted this on facebook and for some reason I felt I wanted to share it with you. lol
Some family trees
have beautiful leaves
and some have just a bunch of nuts.
Remember, it
is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking! ~ Author Unknown
On a more serious note, I pray for your youngest daughter daily. I hate that addictions seem to run in families. At least, in my family it seems to be the case. I honestly believe that the most unselfish thing we can do is to selfishly work on ourselves, our lives, and our recovery so that when our loved ones need us, we will be able to answer the call. You have been there for your family, Liz, and you have recreated your own life as well. Not an easy thing to do. And, for that, you should be very, very proud. As Larry used to say, God Speed.
Larry, we miss you!
