all i keep thinking about is my dad. i wonder if he is thinking of me too. i wonder if he is blitzed out of his mind or thinking of his family.i know the answer to that...he is drunk. if he's not, he's thinking of how to numb the feeling of his family. i feel sorry for him.
I know how you feel. I often feel that way about my A. Constantly, at school, at home, in the shower, I'm always wondering how he is and if he is thinking of me.
Hello again Flint, u bet he's thinking of you. Flint have u ever gone to an open AA meeting where you can hear people talk about the way they used to be and see and hear what thier lives are like now? when i was new in recovery I often went to speaker meetings or open AA those people were hope for me, that maybe one day the alcoholic in my life would give himself the oportunity to change his life.
Al-Anon teaches me in the meantime how to still have a relationship with the practicing A in my life by setting boundaries so that I no longer am hurt by thier seemingly lack of caring . I detach from them emotionally which allows me to get on with my life while allowing them the same. Allowing them the dignity to choose the way they want to live with out criticism or judgement from me was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I was told here that even an drunk deserved respect. *that one took awhile*
I don't feel good about me when I treat people with disresect and this program is all about me , making me feel better about me. Please find some meetings for yourself.
