His mother will certainly appreciate him taking the time write her a letter while in the midst of his trials and tribulations.

Interesting storyline that holds attention throughout the telling of this tale.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. I am enjoying the experience of writing this book about my inner wishes and dreams for my son's situation - although the book and characters are fictional. I appreciate you acknowledging my efforts,

Patty,
Hello! OMG, I didn't know you were misspelling on purpose, so this was filled with the sentences so you could find the misspellings quickly. You explained everything in your author's notes. TY, enjoy your Sunday!

More good news - I've been clean for over five weeks now.

I'll bet his mom was glad to hear that! Sounds like this place is good for him and may really be able to help. Once he's free of drug abuse, he'll be better able to stay that way. :)

Good job Patty, I enjoyed reading this chapter. I think your story is coming along well. Adding the spelling errors in Gary's writing was a good idea, it adds to his character and gives him more depth (also made him more endearing to me...I'm not sure why). Looking forward to the next installment!

One needs to reach the bottom before he can help himself to submit to the cure. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Hello, Patty,

I like your interesting story. I have bi-polar disorder and when I was young I was addicted drugs. It was a way to cope with the disease. But I have not touched any drugs for 22 years, not even cigarettes. I like the story and the presentation in all the different font.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. I appreciate your share SO much. Gary has a long way to go in his recovery from drugs AND learning to deal with his diagnosis - I only hope I can tell the story.

Patty, this is such an interesting read for me as a person with bi-polar disorder. I have never been addicted to any drugs, with my only addiction having been to smoking, which I gave up years ago. I like the story with the letter to mom between and in blue lettering and a different font. Blessings, Patricia

Thank you for stopping by to read and review. I so appreciate your input as you suffer from one of Gary's illnesses. I appreciate you noticing the changes in font and color. I wanted to distinguish Gary's writing as best I could.

Hi Patty, I liked this chapter a lot and the letter he wrote his mother explains a lot of things.
Most head for coffee and look for a place to wait until breakfast is ready = Most headed for coffee and looked for a place to wait until breakfast was ready
You changed from past tense to present tense.
It's a great story and I'm looking forward to reading on. All the best. Ulla:)))
