subject: Blowing off steam

Hi All:)
  My name is Neal and I am an alcoholic who's going through some rough
times right now but very grateful that I'm doing it sober. I just felt
the need to pop in here and blow off some steam because I need to get a 
lot of sh*t out of my system before I go out of my f*cking mind.
  To start of with I've been out of work for the last 2 months and my wife 
has been out on workman's comp for the last 3. We had our car repo'd 3 months
ago due to financial difficulties:( We just got another car a week ago and it
broke down on us, this has gotten me really irked because I need a car so I
can find a job. Now to make matters worse my wife and I had taken in a young
gentleman about 3 months ago because he had no place to stay and we thought
we would extend some compassion (plus my wife thought he was OK because she
knew him from an old neighborhood she used to live in) and he repays our 
kindness by molesting our 2 daughters. We threw his butt out of the house 
once we discovered this scenario was taking place. Now we are in the midst
of prosecuting him for this heinous act (personally I would like to kill 
him for what he did).
  I take solace in the fact that I'm sober today and I've got my wife who
has been very supportive of my own anguish. I am also ever-mindful that my
Higher Power doesn't throw anything at me that I can't handle (this has been
a huge load for me to carry) and that this too shall pass.
  Thanks for letting me dump some of my tales of woe here, I needed to 
unload it.
                              Your's in sobriety
                              Neal G.
... being sober means I'm still the same bonehead just fewer dents in car
