I am an alcoholic 1 month sober. When I watch how you treat people with respect it gives me hope. I and a woman that feels shame. I grew up around alcoholic parents and was raised by my sister, who had died in Jan. 4th 2011. I had lost my left leg due to a boating accident, they ran into the cove. But my sister went thru that with me. I have not smoke pot for decades. Started drinking when I was 38 yrs old. Pls don't check my grammer or spelling because I have never wrote to a Celeb. before. I was in nursing school until my sister got sick and I droped out to take care of her. I was sober at the time and than I just self Med. Although there is no excuse. But my sister was a Buddist and after I lost my leg and flat lined, I know there is a God. I just wanted to say thank you guy's for opening up. Does this sound stupid! Thank you! If I check the spelling I know I will erase everything. Thank's again Anita
