The mental lure of the drugs lessens. I don't know if it is true or not, but I will be praying that Alex comes through this quicker this time and gets back on the path of recovery.<br /><br />I've thought of you often, because you shared with me, 4 1/2 months ago, when I mentioned Bryan's new program on my blog, that Alex didn't do well in that program and that it was rather an odd approach (my words, not yours exactly). And I so appreciated your honesty because it led me to researching it more and talking to them more. And whether it will ultimately work or not, I don't know, but right now he is doing well. We will see.<br /><br />Your strength, your growth and your wisdom has been amazing; and I know right now that doesn't help a lot. So I will pray for you and Mom (I have the exact same diagnosis as Mom right now, and my exact same cough syrup is in my medicine chest). I'm paying close attention at this point.<br /><br />I hope Mom recovers soon, and that Alex will soon be working his recovery again. And for you, continue to be the rock for your family and friends that you are. You have done so much to help this community.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419235000980170328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-46665488739618235732010-03-14T06:35:35.005-07:002010-03-14T06:35:35.005-07:00I'm so sorry to hear about this.
