Anna,
Thank you for your thoughtful and open reply. I could certainly relate to your fears. Sounds like you are very couragious yourself. Glad to hear you have supportive friends and that this year is going better. You sound like a strong person who is very aware. Addictions are powerful things to overcome...got a few of those myself. I'll keep your words of encouragement in mind, especially when negativity and hopelessness creeps in. , judy
