Hi Sabrina,

Good to "meet" you. I think I know what you mean about the alcoholism. I still cannot believe it happened to me after 30 years of being able to take it or leave it (alcohol, I mean).

I've got my little one home sick from school today, but when he's occupied I will check out your posts and threads. I'm happy someone found that my ramblings made sense!

I agree with you about partlycloudy- she's a bright spot in my day when I'm posting. A very classy, honest, empathetic and insightful lady.

I look forward to getting to know you. Maybe we can help each other. I don't know if you've read the posts in which I discuss my in-patient hospitalizations, but in case you haven't I want to say again that in a decent program, so much of the help I received was from the other patients. Doctors, therapists, mental health techs etc., can give us advice and theories, but _we_ are the ones who really know what it's like to fight substance abuse and/or mood disorders. That's why I like this site- it's a way to share that doesn't cost $2000 a day!

I hope to be able to post regularly again now that I'm not manic and drinking twice my body weight daily and running off without realizing it!

Things will get better. They just _do_. Just not as quickly or as easily as we'd like. Take care of yourself.

Best wishes,

Caper
