this is my first post here on GUE and its going to be brief for right now. I expect to come back here tonight when I will most likely be struggling the most and share more with you.

I thought that if I posted something right now I could possibly help myself and someone else who might read this. If you find yourself reading this post today and you are about to slip or fall, know this; I am going to be going through the same thing again very soon and if you can make it just until the end of this day, You will have given me the strength to believe that I can do it too.

I do not have any ability to remain sober either, yet I'm in my 13th year of sobriety. If you want, you can scalp a ticket to my bar mitzvah and we'll
schmooz about how that's possible.
Love,
Dov

Bardy dear, did it ever occur to you that maybe you should stop by AA first?

Maybe AA should stop by him!

Seriously - allow me to explain the chochma of the rebbe:

We often take ourselves and our tzoress way too seriously. That is what l'chaim's are made for!
If you are an alcoholic, make it on sprite!
If you are diabetic, make it on diet sprite!
If you are neither but just stuck up, make it whatever the rebbe gives you!

The ikkar is to be mesameyach with our chelek, no matter what. That's why we are supposed to accept daled misos beis din during sh'ma - look at the tzetel koton - accepting Hashem (in the most complete way) means giving it all up for His sake all the time. Wowee. What freedom. And for small folks like me, it just means acceptance of my chelek. For me, that's a huge surrender itself! Nu. You gotta start somewhere!
After a little acceptance, it immediately and always becomes a lot easier to take life on Hashem's schedule rather than demanding that it be on ours.
And that clears away most of our troubles, right there.
(BTW, see AA referring to steps 3 & 9 ".....immediately we felt.....blah, blah, etc." ....along these same lines).
L'Chayim!!

Seriously I feel for you...It's tough enough without the extra tests...We have to trust that Hashem has given you the strength in advance to make it through.
