 Jack - The wind whispered your name to me...
 
 
 Ja> Hi Marie
 Hi Jack or GazOo...:)
 Ja> Thanks for the welcome but it turns out that you've welcomed me here
 Ja> before. You see, I was running a board called Stargate under the alies
 Ja> GazOo and had posted a few time before.  :-)   Just the same, Thanks
 
 Ah yes, I remember now...So now I am doubly glad I welcomed you again..:)
 
 Ja> again for the welcome. I had stoped posting cause I was drinking
 Ja> again...   Now I of course I'm trying to stop.  I've been trying to get
 Ja> into a treatment program up here (Ottawa Ont Canada) but the waiting
 Ja> list is long and I don't know if i'm willing to go trough there waiting
 Ja> program.  They would have me there first thing in the morning
 Ja>  till 4:00Pm on every week day.  That's like a full time job.
 Ja> :-)   This would go on for one or two months...  I know that I would
 Ja> not be good in that kind of a program...  I mean, I know myself and
 Ja> that would not look good on me..  heheh.. I'm just to lazy I guess. 
 
 Sometimes we have to do things that we don't want to, just to show ourselves
 that we are serious..and it helps, sometimes, to make a change in our
 lifestyles...but you have to do what you feel is best for yourself..
 
 Ja> Still, i'm now living with a friend and of course he dons't drink. 
 Ja> I've not had a drink for oh say three weeks...  I think about it
 Ja> sometimes, but somehow I turn the other way.  I don't know if you
 Ja> remember that I was telling you about my appartent in Aylmer Que
 Ja> Canada?  Well, I came back to Ottawa cause I had been getting into
 Ja> trouble up there and thought It would just get worst.  It's to bad to
 Ja> cause it was really nice.  Oh well...  Mabey I'll learn in time. Well,
 Ja> that's about the full run down...  I'll be looking in and hope to hear
 Ja> from you.   Take care and thanks for the echo.  :-)    
 Yes, I remember you saying you were moving into an apartment..I think
 you were living with your sister before that, weren't you?..Anyway..I
 am glad you have a friend you are staying with..Getting sober is never
 easy for some of us..but staying sober has its benefits.. At least you
 can look in the mirror and know that you didn't have a hit and run the
 night before..or punch some 6 ft.10" guy in the mouth because of something
 he said......
 And try to take things just one day at a time..don't worry about tomorrow,
 just get through today...tomorrow will be here soon enough..
 Great hearing from you..and I wish you the best..three weeks can stretch
 into three months before you know it..hang in there...
 Light, Love and Laughter
