Aftershock

And another acquaintance, nearly through the program, is pulled into the rubble of relapse. Do we need more proof of the power of addiction, the power of alcoholism, and the need to work your steps each day? This devil takes no vacation!

Sarah's friend will fight the disease. I'm sympathetic to relapse but disappointed nonetheless. Personal feelings aside, how does "staff" take such news? What do they really think? So much trauma must take a toll.

Looking for some good news? Sar-a-berry called, she talked openly, and she asked what we thought about it. She talked to her counselor and her sponsor.

She's working through ... the aftershocks.
