Thank you everyone on here for helping me during this dark time. My al anon group was a great help to me. I am certain there will be more dark days to come. I could not have done it without you.
I am sad he could not find recovery, but it was a great gift to me and my mom. It's a gift to my whole family. Once again Thank you all.
(((Anne))) - I am so very sorry for the loss of your brother. My thoughts, prayers and hugs are headed your way for you and your mom.

I'm sorry it has come to this. And I'm so glad you were able to share here, and with your Al-Anon group, and receive support. I wish you and your family peace in the days ahead.
That was a respectful way to honor your family. I am please that the special friend also showed up. I cannot help but feel HP's presence there as well. You are a wonderful daughter ((Lucy))
How magical that your post here is so up lifting for me reminding me of many positive lessons in my recovery such as "courage is fear that has said it's prayers" and "Acceptance is the solution to all of my problems" and more. I'd like to hear others examples also. Mahalo Lucy...keep coming back. ((((hugs))))
