Hello Mary and welcome to he site

 

At 71 years of age you well deserve some peace and serinity in your life, I think the most important responsability that you have is to yourself. I totaly agree with your doctor not because he is a Doctor but because I was a addict and I know first hand the harm that I've done to my love ones in those days, so YES they should stear clear of YOUR life.

I think that at this point you should concentrate on you and your husband and let the people who have made there bed lay in it.

Dry your tears you are not alone anymore I invite you to keep us posted this site was made for people like you...believe or not your the one who help me tonight as I was feeling a bit down but after reading what you wrote...what do I have to complain about nothing.

So I thank you Mary

Please keep us posted and feel right at home here
