So weird I mentioned the guy who comes in every day in my last update. He came in today (obviously) and told me he’d been diagnosed with cancer. Really puts things into perspective. He’s got to be nearly 80. All his life has been the last few years has been looking after his wife, who has dementia. The 30 minutes a day he comes in here are the only time he gets to himself. Pretty shitty news to hear, but he’s upbeat about it. I guess he has to be. He has a wife to take care of after all so I’m sure he’ll beat it just for her sake.
On a different note, I’ve been reading through a few other journals. Not really feeling the need to comment much at this point. I still don’t think I know enough about my own addictions to be able to comment on others. Maybe there’s no right or wrong answers. Just different levels of support.
