If he doesn't quit he may wind up where we are. Liver problems effect everything. OH's platelets are so low that all but the least invasive procedures are off the table because he will bleed to death. That's why the only thing they've been able to do for OH's cancer is treat it with cryo-ablative surgery and they had to get permission for that because his tumor was above what the procedure normally deals with. I know you think it's bad now and it is -- dealing with addiction is so very difficult -- but it's going to get so much worse if he doesn't stop. I wouldn't wish what we've been through on anyone but any kind of extensive liver damage whether it's from cancer, various conditions, injury, or alcohol is life changing in an extreme way and there comes a point where the damage is too severe to come back from.

I know you don't know me IRL but if you want me to tell him what he's about to put you through if he doesn't stop I will. He's about to cross a line that will dramatically change both your lives. It absolutely breaks my heart to see this happening.

Knowing that is what makes it so bad watching him get worse everyday. And he knows. His mom is a nurse and tells him constantly. I’m terribly sorry that y’all have had to go through everything you have. I’m sure it’s taken its toll on you.

UNC vs Duke play in the tourney for the first time ever? You can't convince me this tourney wasn't seeded to make this happen.

Kentucky was a legit threat to that happening, so the seeding was bad if that's the case. Unless you're just saying they were intentionally put on the same side of the bracket, which I would agree with.

I think that's why Duke got our #2 seed. . . 😆. . . need to contact "Film Theory" and have that dude look into it. He can find a conspiracy we will all believe, he can find an angle for any conspiracy theory you can think of.

Thank you! 🧡 Things are good other than my husband’s drinking problem, but it’s about at the end. He’s either got to quit or very serious health problems are coming. He had a seizure on me last fall (apparently there’s a link between alcoholism and having seizures as a kid), memory loss (something happened againThursday where he is confused and loses memory, and now he can’t remember me being in the hospital or my dad dying), missed 3 days last week so may be fired tomorrow, and all the financial problems that come with hitting the bottom. He says he really wants to quit now and is going to the doctor in the morning. So any prayers would be appreciated! I said 2021 was the worst year of my life. Now I want to go back! This place helps...love the people here!

I am so sorry, I am so sorry.... I want to say that again and again. I had hope when you told us that he had laid the bottle down this past year. Hard times brings out the worst coping mechanisms in all of us as your family has had to deal with. You’ve certainly have and had prayers for you and your family. Is there anything else you need? I don’t say this lightly, just message me on here, even if it’s just a ear. I would love that, believe me, I’ve encountered enough alcoholics in my own family. Again 🧡

They played good defense...we still win if we just hit 30%. You guys acting like they suffocated the hell out of is ridiculous.

What I have been saying ever since the game is..it wasn't anybodies fault, we just had one of those games...that's just basketball.

Other teams did that to us during the season, but got run off the floor when we hit shots the next time we faced them.

Shooting the three is about being comfortable and in rhythm…. Michigan did a good job of making us uncomfortable….. you are right that if we played them again…. We would probably do a much better job against Michigan…. The tournament is about being able to adjust in game which we didn’t do a good job of doing…. That’s not directed at Barnes…. He did a great job this year.
