Often I felt I was at the top of the roller coaster and wanted off but hopefully if there is anyone out there that this might ring a bell for, either for them or a family member, it will be worth it.

I hope and pray that your Daddy did quit drinking and that you did also. <br /><br />My drug of choice is FOOD. I have had a weight problem all of my adult life. I could write a book....<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing. We got home this evening and had a wonderful couple of days in the North Carolina mountains.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-8583154819937676062009-05-30T10:28:25.395-05:002009-05-30T10:28:25.395-05:00kenju
