Wish it was not so rainy and miserable as a walk or a stumble around the block would do me good.

I wish more members would join or post. I would love to hear of other's journeys with this crappy disease.

You are really giving your best to dealing with the drinking as well as and the side effects of neuropathy. Enjoy the good days. At times neuropathy can be unpredictable. I have dealt with the burning ankles and feet; especially in the evening, for several years; some days/nights better than others.

I may have mentioned in the past; my daughter, who herself dealt with addiction (has been clean for several years); received certification almost 2 yrs. ago as a Certified Recovery Support Specialist for Mental & Substance Abuse.

Last year she was Certified as an Alcohol & Drug Counselor . Staying sober is a lifetime commitment. I am very proud of her endeavor to help herself while trying to help others with their addictions.

Appreciate your updates.
