O.O Awwwwwwwwwwwww! Well that's kinda sad :( Though at least he has the supportive man and two wonderful girls *pets him*
Keep it up, Oakapple! *hug*

Well, I figured he'd already showed up in several other stories, so the short that used your actual prompt should show some part of him that doesn't get seen so often. I did mention, briefly, that he's in recovery and is tracking his sobriety, so I thought that would be an interesting angle.

Being a juicer -- or any kind of an addict -- is, I think, a difficult life. Oakapple is indeed extremely fortunate to have a good support system; he'll make it. :)

Awwww bless him! *hugs Oakapple*

The juice pales in comparison to family life Oakapple, leave the juice! Sounds like a great day the family have planned for him, and I hope he stays away from the juice and enjoys the celebrations in and of themselves.

Squee, such a cute family. :)

My understanding about any type of addiction is the cravings never go away, and certain things can trigger stronger cravings than others. I'm not in recovery myself, but I have heard and read a lot about it, and I know that anniversaries are particularly hard. But Oakapple is doing all the right things, including finding a meeting, and I'm quite sure that with his excellent support network, he'll be much better tomorrow. (And probably slightly smug about getting through the day, too.)

I do like this family. :)
