Yes, it does help to know one is not alone. My sister's have been awesome in this regard. I never knew they were this loving. It didn't seem that way when we were younger!!

Times like this could easily put me back a'drinking. Everything would surely go to hell in a hand basket then. When I was drinking, I almost lost everything, health, wealth, my spouse...everything. This time, it's my wealth but the important things are still with me.

I have some temporary work beginning October 4. It'll last until the first week of November. This will give me the W-2 job I need to get us that much closer to a Home Mod loan.

Truly, this is a 'step by step' process. Better that than 'blow by blow'!
