A little something about nothing

The reply

It took a few hours, but I did finally get a reply to my email I sent to Sue about her drinking. Surprisingly, she took it very well and said she had already started thinking about it over the weekend. We've gone back and forth a few times and the overall comments are: She realizes she needs to quit drinking, although she won't admit she has a problem; she realizes she uses her friends as crutches and needs to learn they cannot be there at every moment; she realizes she needs to seek counseling; she realizes one of her biggest issues she has been avoiding is fear of loneliness.

I think those are huge steps she has made, now we will see if she takes action on them as she said she will. I feel so much better having said something and her taking it to heart and making an attempt to do something about it.
