It is something that some would not understand, but if you really listen the need to tell the truth is apparent in people who have made the struggle and now want to let others know the struggle is worth the pain.

I believe the people who have been there and are still recovering, as there is no day the recovery is said to be complete, are the people who go out and make a difference in the world. I have known many people who are in recovery and their desire to give usually leads them into service positions of some type.

They are powerful helpers, they understand the vulnerability of the human spirit, and how difficult each day can be when trying to create a new life. They understand we all need one another for support, love and care, all humans, not just the ones who slipped and are recovering, but they seem to understand on a different level.

Yes, like you I believe Rush will be back and may the Dems tremble as he will, as always, be the spokesperson for the Republicans, and they need him back to work when he feels ready.

There is no rush (pun intended), we will wait patiently for him to return when it is the right time. In the meantime, articles like yours are needed for people to understand how easily something like this can happen and how courageous he is being in telling the truth and vowing to return. It is better for people to understand it is never over, and each day will be a new day of struggle to get through the day clean. He can do it!

Has anyone noticed in the article from Newsweek trumpeting the "fall" of Rush Limbaugh that one of the biggest gloaters is alleged comedian Al Franken? I find it interesting, considering that at least two of the "tell-all" books on the history of the TV show Saturday Night Live list Franken and his partner Tom Davis as being the main drug suppliers of illegal drugs to the original cast. Since those drugs essentially wiped out the careers of Larraine Newman and Garrett Morris for many years, this smacks of, ummm, should we say "hypocrisy"?

p>As for Franken being an "alleged" comedian, four words: "Stuart Saves the Family." I rest my case. br> -- Cookie Sewell br> Aberdeen, MD /p>
