I can relate to this, as my Grandpa, father, uncles and son are alcoholic. It was the one thing I avoided when getting married, because I didn't want to be around it any more. My prayers are with you.
It is in times like these, that you find out what you are made of. I have the feeling you are going to be amazed by how powerful you feel one year from now. Doing what scares us, is sooooo liberating. I went on a solo vacation through the Canadian...

Someone is asking about you from the prayer chain! RE:
("Right now I have to get rid of this infection inside my blood. If you or you know any body else out there who believes in the power of prayer, please ask them if they would not mind offering my name in their prayers.")

I am a proud Cherokee ancestor with a mixture of German.
I love mother earth, earth tones and natural things.
I wish to keep as much balance as I can, in life and nature, in my home, and my heart.
Blessings!
