You may remember my divorce last October.
Well, I relapsed with my alcoholism. I have fallen off the wagon 5 times in 3 years.
And so now I am spending a full year at a house for addicts and the mentally disturbed. There is Piero, hospitalized permanently for Bipolar disorder. Always hits me for cigarrettes. Also there is Xavier, a long time schizophrenic patient. He is very wacky and comes up with the funniest contrasting statements.
I was allowed to bring some books and my acoustic guitar.
My beloved CS Strat, Snowbird, I will not see for a long time.

Anyway, after four months I have been awarded a service at the office, so I can now sneak a couple of visits to the Forum to get news from you all.

Best wishes to everyone!

...I never thought small things were so precious. The food is terrible in here.
The other day I drank a soda. Tasted like heaven.

Take care my friends,
I will try to post from this place as I learn the tools to stay sober.

Hey Mike, well done mate, really. You're on the right track and you know it.

Between me and you, there's a few people using these boards that have suffered because of alcoholism and come through the other side. You can do it too mate.

Hey Mike, good luck man and thanks for the news. Simple pleasures, you got it. Trust yourself because you already made wise choices. Sometimes when we focus on a problem to fix it, we find a lot of other stuff and it can be scary at times. So get all the help you can because you're worth it. Claude.

Good job Mike, Big Memphis MoJo your way

Bill
