Worried 878 post actually got me thinking......(not the first time) ----  she indicated that some forum people were wondring where i was.... believe me, the friends that I have made and the new people I chat with are pricelss ......My mother is struggling with alzheimers and my father tried to have a heart attack on me - - so I have been quite busy ....  And I may add that if not for finding this forum - I would previously down 10-20 hydros and be ready to go ........not that I would have been much help.......many things have changed since I stopped using -----  the best change is that I am now functional again ........ you need to know doctor speak before you can convesrse with physicians.  And if I hadnt been sober over  a year i would just have asked for valium or something instead of dicussing my parents conditions intelligently....... Currenly the parents are doing well - heart attacks run genetically in out family -- this is my first for dealing with alzheimers (dont care for it) ----    Have been combat lifesaving trained and used it ---  nobody shot them !!! IMHO real medicine requires bood and bandages --- !!!!

So glad to know you are still with us.  I value your wise words!  I always read posts particularly when I see you have replied because you don't talk b.s. and thats what we need to hear.  Thank you for being such a leader here.
Glad to hear your parents are doing ok.  And most of all, I'm glad you can now deal with life without having to use over it.
