Hi Neil, Yeah yer right about them not getting it..I have them keep
asking me..you can't even do just one..I finally ask them..have you
ever poured gas on a fire...Thats me when I get started..you can't
put me out...I to have a greatful list..and just added another one to
it..My new girl quit drinking over lent..and says she is done..She
never was a drinker and we talked about what it was doing to me when
she drank..which wasn't much.
But the smell and such was bothering me..She was working at a bar
too which worried me..and she is quitting that too..not just for
me..but for her.. She being sober can see what was really going on
there..and she was really worried..Not for her..but for the
drinkers..which I told her..we can't fix them ...So..thanks for your
reply Neil....Mike
