Family - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

MajestyJo · 03-24-2014, 05:39 PM

Family is good and I had major regret as a result of not being a part of my nieces growing up. We didn't live near each other, but now that we are in the same city, I never see them except on holidays.

I couldn't get sober for my family. I couldn't stay sober if I allowed my family to interfere with my recovery program. I was an embarrassment to them. Even today, not sure that I have their trust, although one niece said, "Aunt Jo don't let my mother talk to you that way." I just couldn't take it all personal.

As they say, "Take your QTIP with you every where you go. Quit Taking It Personal.

I loved them, but didn't always like them. Even my son, who is in active addiction, tells me to go to a meeting. He doesn't want to see me to go back to where I came from.
