Reading in and out of so many posts I didn't know really what to reply. When I read Jan 2005 I mentally ran back to what was happening then with D. I realised something.
You've been through so much, much more than I have with repeated detox and hospital and yet while through all that time I was aware of your story my head was filled with my own. I'm full of respect for you as a person, not just because you trod the path you did but because I remember how much you gave a damn for all of us while doing it, but most of all because in the end you drew the line firmly but not from hatred.
Life is so different for so many of us but I figure all that any of us can do is our best to figure a path through without losing the parts of ourselves that matter the most.
ZORT! I'm glad our paths crossed....
