When you can as you can. We have recovery family friends; a mother and son from a family history with alcoholism. I knew of them from the near neighborhood on Oahu and their insanity paralleled mine. Dear God. Her husband got sober by suicide which solution she just recently attempted and was reunited with us. Her son knows what sobriety tastes like right along with multiple relapses...one of which he is trying to survive now while she is trying to survive he own depression and insanity. They are super glued together in this "Family Disease". I just got off the phone with her and she is not good at sounding brave. She verbally nods to the program and it's lessons and then it is only a nod. My wife and I and others are standing by with support and if you all have extra prayerful conversations with your HPs and the time to let them fly down here We will package those with ours and hope for the best. Mahalo Piha....Thanks forever. (((())))
Oh ((((Jerry)))) I'm not into traditional prayer, but I do believe in sending and AM sending love and comfort energy to all the folks impacted by this awful tragedy...sooo sorry...We are here sending love energy right now
(((Jerry))) - prayers and healing thoughts headed your way. Take good care of you and your wife too.

Okay Mahalo Family...just called my friend and all is okay and getting back on track for the moment. Both are alive and still here and she has heard from her son who is entering a program. She was into her Courage to Change readings this morning which is just the best suggestion I could think of. Courage to Change...Just for Today our program works as suggested. Thank you God. ((((hugs))))
Thank you Jerry for the update! So, so agree - Just for Today, our program works! (((Hugs)))
