So glad to find this board
Permalink  

I am having such a hard time dealing with my daughter's drinking.  She is 26 and this has been going on off and on for 13 years or maybe it has always been on.  I think she is sober and I find she is drinking again/still.  I just don't have the patience anymore.  I say all the wrong things to her and then feel bad.  I was reading some of the posts and I am hoping I will get my own thoughts back on track.  I went to naranon meetings for years.  It really helped me and gave me the support I needed to get up every day and do what I needed to do.  I hope to get the same support here.


Thanks

Mfran: I am glad that you are here. My younger sister is an alcoholic and it took me years to surrender my controlling and trying to do something about it.


My boyfriend is an a too. I have been to some real lows with him. This group has helped me tremendously.


Maresie.

I was just at the on line meeting.  Looks like it is Eastern Standard Time.  Unfortunately I got disconnected and now have to reconnect, but in a short while I already have some good things to think about.

Hi Fran I am a Mum so I can only imagine what you are going through.  Try to get a focus back on yourself and remember the 3 c's they really do help to get a little perspective.  When was the last time you  did something really special for yourself?  Go on do it you deserve it.  We are here for you anytime you need us.  Luv Leo xx

Hi all and thanks for the posts.  Yesterday I read some posts, went to the on line meeting, and visited the chat room.  I listened and thought about what I heard and today was a better day.  I get so caught up in wanting my daughter to make the right decisions I get too involved and don't think about myself.  I know that she has to make her own decisions, but I want her to get better quick and it is not happening.  She doesn't want to do any 12 step program and is too depressed to get up and get out to some other kind of meeting.


Thanks for listening.
