>The last time you made such a stupid remark, you were drunk. I can only assume that you are still drunk. Obviously you don't give a damn about your daughters or anyone else stupid enough to care about you.

>Marcia, maybe we're being too hard on Mike - he's not a pleasant picture right now, and is surely down right now - we should be building him up, even letting his ego and head swell a bit over his recent accomplishments of not drinking. Though I agree he needs to accept some responsibility, perhaps he feels shafted a bit. We're all his friends, so maybe with some stroking he'll be back on the ball in no time.

Actually I am feeling great these days. For some reason my last episode seems to have been more of a wake-up call than all the ones before. My head is not swelling over staying sober for 10 days. That is only the tiniest start toward ongoing sobriety, which is what I need to do.

I accept full responsibility for my drinking and the wreckage it has caused. I have never blamed it on anyone but myself.

You're right, I do still have a lot of friends and support here. I appreciate it greatly. Marcia is not one of them and I accept that.
