Know me and I am nothing special but whenever someone makes this type of decision it makes me warm all over, we all have our own personal stories on these type of missteps and recovery from them.... she made a mistake, most if not all of us have done so, many of us survived it some didn't and that makes me sad, it is a cliche but a real fact also "some will die so that the rest of us can survive" not as I have heard it stated that some MUST die....no one MUST die but some will.

Tell her for me if you have the chance that I and every AA member inclusive are proud of her and wish nothing but the best for her in her path in recovery
