Dear Kathryn! I reread all of your postings on your thread. I see that I have only posted three times to you since I have been in recovery for over a year. ME BAD! You have done brilliantly in your recovery. Sorry to hear your Mom has been diagnosed with Altzeimer’s; such a cruel disease. Her refusing to sit at the Christmas luncheon table and giving you the evil eye, gave me a bit of a chuckle. I have a sister named Jennifer also; she is a nurse also. She is the one that tried to suicide a week ago. She will be going into rehab for alcoholism. We all have our poison; mine was gambling. I see that you and Jode like to watch the Amazing Race and Survivor. After I watched the African Survivor I searched the net and found out exactly it had been filmed and booked a trip to the Masa Mera and we stayed in 5 star lodges and 5 star tented camps. We would go on 3 safaris a day, and even went on a nightime safari. It had been my dream to go to Africa and I fell in total love with the country. We also went to Egypt that trip and to the Valley of the Kings, Egyptian Museum. It was totally fabulous! I’m an avid recycler also. Happy Recovery Day!! Carole
