~ By Sue ~ My heart is filled with many tears Each time I start thinking of you Not knowing what I did so wrong I really do not have a clue In my heart I felt we were meant to be There were feelings I had inside Feelings I never even felt before I never would have left your side The one thing I was not willing to do Was to compete for you with your drinking Because I already knew Against alcohol there is no winning To watch you drink yourself to death Is more than I can stand to do Knowing you are taking medication Is so hard, because I love you 10-4-02 |

Sue, YOU did nothing wrong! Alcoholism is a sickness. It is not caused by something you said or did. I really encourage you to go to AlAnon. Hugs to you, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

It appears to be a very difficult time in your life. I wish I could wave a magic wand so that yours pains and troubles could just disappear. You have a wonderful way with words that pulls your reader into experiencing your emotions(albeit it not to the point you do!) Take care sweet Sue Linda |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, my heart goes out to you, sweet friend, I know how hard it must be for you right now and I wish I too could cast a magic spell and make it all go away, but know none of it was your fault, it is all in ones own willpower to either resist or drink alcohol and it is his own obstacle he'll have to learn to surmount, which I pray he can do soon! (sigh) I am always here for you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sue, I'm not qualified to offer advice. But I do encourage you to find someone who is. You have such a good heart and deserve the best. Peace and courage to you. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Oh, dear Sue...there is winning. Through acceptance and surrender and understanding. But sometimes you do have to lose, before you learn how to win. You can give in, but don't ever give up. There is always hope. Let Go, Let God.....and yes, try alanon...also, try a few open AA meetings and learn the pain these people go thr. trying to quit. It is a disease; As far as your writing. You did well, your words vividly portraying the pain of an alcoholic relationship. You did good. God Bless without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |
