I have a very handsome son, so talented, intelligent and kind...yet alcohol, drugs have him in it's clutch, but God, but God's eyes will turn to him in Jesus Christ Holy name. Amen and Amen.

God helped me make it out of the grasp as well, 7 years sober now . Praying that your son finds his way as well.

I could never ever imagine such description of listening to music..any music...This will forever be a standard with me for some author's description of such passive activity.

Thank God we now have Alcoholics Anonymous the spiritual program of recovery from alcoholism which has saved millions from such a wretched fate.

The fate of spending decades in a AA room talking about it sounds like agony as well.

[@akinyiaiko]

This is a rather complex story...
Iis
I must admit the end did not make much sense to me...

It seemed to me trying to show the futility of trying to help an addict?? Seems that even 150 years ago they knew you can’t help someone who doesn’t want help.

Have you thought of covering "the raid" by Leo tolstoy?

[@marilyntape508]

Yes please 😃👍🇦🇺

He ''took up the bow of the fiddle" should not be pronounced the same way as "he took a bow." Tells me it is an AI reader.

[@mapleext]

Yup, happens in these stories. But I’m still glad to have them.
