Oh, yes, love the Beatles, too, and Johnny Mathis--remember him?

You have had your share in life, Not Alice, and I hope things will improve rapidly for you.
The eighteen year-old son is going to have to learn the hard way, I suppose. And you're
right that you can do nothing for him at this point. You must take care of yourself
so that the 11 year-old is protected.

I hope you worked the AA 12-step program in remission of alcohol. I'm using their
theories to get control of a sugar sensitivity-- closely related, I understand, to alcoholism. We've all had our share here, I guess, but we're hanging in. You do, too, please.

Take care.
