Still good...but I\'m grieving
Not drinking at all...thank you Dear God, but I am grieving hard today. We had rain last night from tropical storm Hannah. My dogs were outside between the storms and looking through the fogged door, I saw one of my dogs wanting to come back in. In the instant I saw him, I thought for a moment it was somehow my Oscar coming back to me. Oscar was my soulmate...yes he was a dog...be he had been with me through Stuart's suicide, my drunkeness, my new life here in PA. He was here for me during my father's illness and death and my beloved brother, Guy's sudden death. He died just a few months after Guy. My Oscar was someone who was always there no matter how alone I was. He was much more than a dog...he was my true friend and soulmate, and I loved him more than anything I could imagine. Last night my grief kicked me in the gut...Stuart, my dad, my brother, my Oscar, my mom. And today, I'm crying, as well I should for my losses...my sorrow. I can't be comforted in this. It is deep, so deep, so painful, I can't describe it. But I have survived all this and I am alcohol free today by the grace of God. I am sober 12 days today and grateful.

You have had so much grief in such a short time, you need to stay sober to enable yourself to heal, you will not heal when you drink, that will just put the pain on hold.
Oscar, and all the people you grieve for will be around you in spirit, just look and feel for the signs. you had one last night, be happy today.

Grief is never easy.. Sometimes the tears help us thru the grief, sometimes the tears are good, its a realease, and you seem to need it now .. So its ok to cry ..
