              You can't save someone who won't save themselves. Sometimes being a grown up really sucks.

              My mom is 68 days sober!!! I'm so happy. we both understand that this is a life long battle to face, but she can do it. For the first time in my life I can say I'm really proud she's my mother. It's so nice to be able to go do things with her and not be embarrassed about the way she's acting. My relationship with her has never been so good. As a reward, we're spending the day out shopping with the family & going out to dinner.

                Jenn @sdrose sometimes relapsing is a part of recovery, as odd as that sounds...I relapsed twice & the second time, I was headed toward destruction. Alcohol (beer) is my poison. I could definitely see myself getting worse & worse. Thank GOD, I stopped when I did...just be there for her, which I know you will be. ;^)

                Summer is addicted to Glue Of course I am. I'm really glad she's finally doing this. Wasn't sure how much more I could take if she didn't quit drinking. Plus it's really nice to actually have a relationship with her.

                Summer is addicted to Glue I know this post was from a few months ago but I hope things have gotten better. I had to deal with my mom being an alcoholic for 20+ years. I hope he can get help. If he chooses not to, I hope you have the strength to get help for yourself. If you need to talk to someone, I'm happy to be there. I'm not on all the time, but when I am feel free to chat me up. I know exactly what you're going thru.

              So my mom just called 9-1-1 instead of me even tho I live 20 yards away. WTF Negative for stroke, negative for heart attack, positive for ethanol smell. I'm over it, I can't do this any more. Guess I'll call the hospital in 5-6 hours. She needs to wait thru ER and be admitted to5N where she always ends up before they make any decisions any way.

                Stacey @sdrose I'm also sorry you have to deal with that. So much stress, worry, extra pressure and work for you that you didn't choose to bring into your life. I'd be so frustrated, but how hard it must be to have that frustration around someone you love. My husband has an alcoholic in his family but they live in separate states even though they are close and all he can do is worry; he's not there for the day-to-day stress. Hang in there, but not so long it hurts your life. I'll hold a good thought for you and your mom.

I sure hope things have gotten better in the months since your last post. I understand alcoholism. I dealt with my mother being an alcoholic for most of my life. I'm praying for you.

              If you get a DUI I will not bail you. If you get cirrhosis because of your drinking I will not take care of you. Truth is, Sometimes LOVE REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH.

                Kell3y "Now I'm Sookie"!! @sdrose that's awesome of you that you're that careful with your child. It's also very understanding of you to stand by her & keep motivating her to work at staying well. That's one of the most important things in recovery. Support system!! Sounds like you're offering her a good one!! Good luck sweetie.

                Summer is addicted to Glue I'm hoping there is a way you can separate yourself from your uncle. I've stopped allowing my mother to see my son unless she's sober. I actually bought a pocket breathalyzer she has to take before I bring him over. If she doesn't blow a .00 she doesn't see him. I can't separate myself from the situation because I have to work with her.
