>Mike, we are here for you. When you feel lonley get woith people who can help wiht thqat, go to a meeting. Pick up the phine and call somebody, mu phone number is on my web site. Doug Dodge has invited you to call over and over again, use us MIke use to us to hell and back again some day I may nee to call you to talk out my lonleliness adn I need for you to be there then so use me now damn it!.

I will not call you now because I am still wasted, but I will. You really are a person I admire.

I have been giving meetings a try and doing better for it. This is a screwup. I am going to keep going to meetings, starting tomorrow noon.

There are plenty of success stories there. Guys who have been sober for years and years. Some who say they would be dead if they had not found AA, and I believe them.
