Chalm,
I am so proud of you! You really sound great, and I have been wondering how you have been doing? I think that you have made an enormous decision, life altering but for the better.
My father and brother are both recovering alcoholics. It has been 23 years for my father, and 16 for my brother. My brother and I became very close at that time in his life, and I really enjoyed going to some of the meetings with him. I always remember how wonderful all of the people that I met. The growth I saw, and made myself was unbelievable. I really felt understood there. My brother always said that the first 90 days are the hardest.
My brother and I are still close, and he has really done well for himself and family. I was always worried about that because he was a real rebel, even escaped death a few times. I am very, very grateful for him and his family.
I hope that I have given you a little encouragement and I am here for you anytime if you need my support.
Congrars, Nina 52
