She said her Hus band at 37, was the picture of health but drank Beer in incredible husband too. Is evil Rumely handsome Well respected and has never missed a Day of work due to alcohol. Thai was one of the ways he denied his alcohol ism. He also used phrases like. Ionly drink Beer i never drink before noon and i can quit any Lime i and he did quit dozens of times. At 17, Bill s life began to chanet the fairy tale marriage of seven years started to to apart arguments became More frequent and Bill became verbally Abu Sive. Public appearances were an embarrassment. Our once intense physical relationship cooled considerably. His memory began to fail. His health began to deteriorate. Colds turned 1o bronchitis. Bronchitis turned to pneumonia there were prostate problems. The final blow we a heart attack at 39.Bill a scared. He thought he was going to die and sought counselling. The Counselor told him that he was in serious Days later Bill checked into an alcohol recovery Center heavily indoctrinated with the a a principles. It saved Hii Jerry i wife 1 say learn As much a you can about alcoholism. Or a disease not a character to can save your sanity. And now for the Good news Nat month Bill will celebrate one full year of sobriety. He is a new Man physically mentally and emotionally. The magic i tack in our marriage. We can laugh and love again. I wi5htbe�mefory0u. Ekamas dear babes 1. Thank far a great letter at if 1 hear Portalo from jerry1 wife i m Yon know. Dear Ann Landers my dear spouse worked two hours preparing a quiche for dinner. The recipe called for a 9-Inch pie plate Bla used a cake Lin with a removable she took in Oul of the oven the quiche dribbled out an Over a look of Shock and disbelief on her face was simply hilarious. When i slopped laughing i said i can t wait to Tell your Parent about leu. It i the fun Niest darned thing i be seen in Yean Ella became furious. She called me insensitive and cruel 1 say she overreacted to this funny or . Stars and str1pes it s funny to me. But t did t work for two hours patting the quiche Ella was humiliated and did t want her panne to know. 1 Hope Yon were gentleman enough i keep Yon lip lipped. Dear Ann Landrt about that Teller from Carol who thought she was pregnant and experienced All the classic symptoms morning nausea weight gain food craving Etc As registered nurse i have seen Many such cases. Thi Scondi lion ii abcs pseudo cycles or phantom pregnancy. Queen Mary i of England was so eager to produce an heir that she suffered from this problem for Well beyond nine , too gel into the act. Sympathetic males have been known to suffer from morning sickness and Odd food cravings. Even More common Are husbands labor somewhere there s a fascinating unwell in Book Abo pregnancy. . . i feet Yoa could Wile it. Why not give to a go no is retiring with mixed emotions As f prepare for retirement i have mixed emotions about the army of today. Patches worn on the right shoulder Are not As Prevc Lant a they once were. The inevitability of audition is thinning the ranks of combat smart cos and company Grade officers those of us who have been there share knowledge that cant be taught Only experienced. Am amazed As i see Young officer and enlisted soldiers lil in Awe and wonderment As they listen tothe old War hones Swap War they sit on lie Edge of their scats with Limilla attention spans As talks of Contact during ambushes and patrols Are told seems lbs thought of combat is titillating to these Young soldiers. Sarabo Morris stringfellow and even the new Mike Hammer have been to Vietnam As their movies and television series will attest. The naive Are taken in by the War stories and Holly Wood productions. Somehow War has become Glamor Ous once again. The truth is that War is nol glamorous at All. War is full of fear and doubt and Diaan ointment. Whenever the Hill is taken or the file base defended there Are Only losers on both sides. The losers Are the ones who have lost life limb or if Yon survive Ibe Bank a Little piece of you diet with every buddy lost or enemy toddler killed. Believe me seeing the brain and entrails of human being scattered about is. Not fun. How do you think it Lech when your teammate body goes Limp in your arms and you look into his dead pupils i can Only say that it changes you. First you feet remorse then rage and hate and you Only want to get even with those sorry sobs and sometimes you do. You become hard and callous and the More you a War and do War the More you change. Everyone changes some for the by lick some worse but you change you won t be the same when you get Home to of Wimily and friends. It takes Lime to become whole again if you can. Some can a either physically or mentally As the wards in the a Bop tals will prove. We Are spending billions of dollars on equipment and training As an insurance policy against a War that we Hope will never occur. Bui what of common sense and discipline in today s army i see acts of assault and disrespect against no by e-4s and below Mei with Oral reprimands while cos arc Given article 15s for con suming one Beer while off duty under a policy thai can be described As ambiguous at Best. 1 wonder where the priorities those of you who might think that this letter is sour tapes i m no the no who received the article 15 for drinking that one Beer i m Only staling inc documented facts so i say to All of you Silil on Active duty be All you can be Only Pray to god each Day Hal it won t have to be in Only ones who want logo to War arc those who have never been Slaff sgt.
