Ray, I didn’t mean to yell at you, I’m lying, I did mean to yell at you. I like you. I like you a lot. I have seen your growth over the last 2 years?, and how things turn out for you matters to me.

I also remember Bama very well, and when I sense the same pattern reemerging, I felt the need to say something. It is your life sugar, and I suppose he does deserve the benefit of the doubt. You seem to have your head on straight, and a wise sponsor to sound this thing off of. That is all anyone needs as long as they keep their sobriety first.

Like you said “Only time will tell on this one.”

Have fun, be happy, and be in love. This life is too short to miss out on these things. They are, after all, the coin of our lives.

Your friend on this long strange trip,
Richard
