I don't know many people who have worked harder to earn that badge of honour, or done more with the opportunities its brought them. You really are the best of the best.

As we've not yet had the opportunity to meet in person I feel honoured that you have shared something of your personal life with us. Our past makes us who we are now doesn't it? Well done on the 'almost 10 years sober' - I am sure it can not have been easy. Have a great vacation. Pat – thanks for sharing a very personal story.

Well done on the ‘almost 10 years sober’ – I am sure it can not have been easy.

Have a great vacation.

It's honesty such as this that really rocks worlds. I only hope that Amy can find the love that you did and achieve the successes that you have worked so hard for.

My sister, who has MS (with a daughter who has Cerebral Palsy), who I may add is now separated from her alcoholic husband, is a recovering alcoholic herself. She only recently saw the errors of her ways when it really started to impact her children - no amount of warnings or love from her parents or brothers or sister did anything. We had no impact on her whatsoever. It didn't matter how much her problem was pointed out to her. Although our love did make a difference – I don’t doubt that for a second. I’m sorry but, Pete Doherty is a dick and doesn’t deserve any sympathy. I don’t care how many problems he has. He has been given way too many chances to get his shit together! It’s a case by case basis I guess. I might not be a recovering alcoholic, but I can speak from a family member on the other side. Keep it up Pat (and Jackie) - I don't doubt for a second that it's more difficult than the rest of us could imagine. I’m not debating here, just saying that you need to draw the line under some people like Doherty. Pat, you are one in a million but people can only be helped when they want to help themselves.
