Patty,

I am so proud of you! You are willing to admit your addiction and are not

afraid to tell everyone. That in and of itself shows how committed you are to

recovery. You have to have pain meds with this disease and it sounds like you

are doing your best to keep control over your addictions! Bravo and kudos to

you!

As a long time Baptist, I welcome you into the fold! If you can get involved

and find an accountability partner in your church that will really help with

your addictions also.

I come from a long line of alcoholics. I have danced around it myself. I

caught myself before I got to addicted to alcohol because I didn't want to be

like

my dad and brother. My grandmother and grandfather and lots of uncles and

aunts were alcoholics also. It is not easy, but you sound like you are doing

great. Keep up the good work! One phrase I like to tell myself is;

I am not what I ought to be

I am not what I should be

But by the grace of God and I am not what I used to be!

Take care!
