Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
I read this and had a laugh so I thought I would share it with you. For toughs who havent seen it before.
Keep smiling .
God Bless

Ma's Letter
Dear Son,
"I'm writing this real slow, 'cause I know you can't read very fast.
"We don't live where we did when you left. Your daddy read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of home, so we moved 25 miles down the road.
"I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the numbers off the house with them house so's they wouldn't have to change their address.
"This place has a washing machine, but I don't think it works too well. The first day, I put your shirts in, pulled the chain, and I ain't seen 'em since.
"It only rained twice this week. Three days the first time and four days the second time.
"Son, you know the coat you wanted me to send you? Well, Aunt Hilda said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with those heavy buttons on it, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. You'll find 'em there. I figured you mighta thought they got lost in the mail.
"We got a letter from the funeral home. They said if we don't make the last payment on Grandma's funeral bill, up she comes. I don't know what to do, we didn't get along all that well when she was here the first time.
"Your sister had a baby this morning. I ain't heard if it's a boy or a girl, so I don't knowif your an uncle or an aunt. I'll get back to you with that.
"Your Uncle John fell in the whisky vat. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off, so he drowned. We cremated him last week. He burned for three days.
"Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving, the other two was in the back. The driver got out. He rolled the window down, climbed out
and swam to safety. The other two drowned. Sad. They couldn't get the tailgate down.
"Not much more to write I guess. You take care of yourself and don't forget to wear clean underwear when you go out, ya hear? Just never do know when you might
get in a accident.
"Love ya,"
Ma

The doctor considered his question for a minute and then said, "I have an elderly friend who is a hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was going out in a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his umbrella instead of his gun. When he got to the Creek, he saw a rabbit sitting beside the stream. He raised his umbrella and went, 'bang, bang' and the rabbit fell dead. What do you think of that?"
The 90-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else killed that rabbit."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly."
thanx for the laugh
