Oh my God. You still remember me! Thank you for all the good wishes. I need them. My life is still good. I have my job. my family and all. But I have tested them. I am in fact battling addiction (alcohol, what else?). I am looking on the bright sight of life, though. My doughter just turned 18 and now drives her own car (that's normal in Germany). My little boy just turned 11 and is so cute. He does have more girls as friends than boys. He says: "It's easier to make friends with girls. You don't have to fight with them for three hours before beeing friends!" I guess, he is right there. 
Anke! How great to see you here! I saw there'd been a comment on this thread and figured someone was wishing you a happy birthday, but never expected to see you here in person! Glad your kids are doing well.
Are you on Facebook? A lot of Brokies are connected there in a private group called Bluebirds and Whiskey Springs. If you have any interest, join us!
Either way, it's wonderful to know you were here. Best of wishes with your struggles. And very happy birthday!
