>>You may be pleased to know that I am officially enrolled in rehab. I go in a week from today, or maybe a week from tomorrow depending what time I get back from That Conference on Thursday. I am finally ready, strongly spurred by my daughters' growing disgust with me. They say in AA that you have to sober up for yourself first but if I lose them, I don't know. They are really good people and I don't want to go on failing them.

I know that. They have their own lives now and I am proud of both of them. But we will always be close. It is important to me to regain their respect.
