12. Thanks Brenda- we had a pretty good talk about it today.

And I did just what you suggested and I think it went pretty well.
I know she knows it is interfering with her life- that's the good news.
She is VERY intelligent and as one of her doctors once told me:
"The good news is she realizes when something is hurting her and will stop."
She only drank three beers today, so that is progress and I mean to focus on ANY
and EVERY positive thing that happens.
We worked all day together sanding my great-grandmother's wicker chairs.
Good project and keeps her mind off of drinking...
I plan to keep us very busy doing fun and productive stuff.
It's turning out to be a good time for us to talk, heart to heart about "things."
