Family ties

Addict in the Family

Through my addiction I've noticed in my family it's brought out the addict that my dad once was and it brings on the co-dependent in my mom.

 I'm having some struggles with my elder lets call him mr. Potts. He is an abuser of pills and alcohol, maybe. Anywho I think that he is getting back into his spiral. The hardest thing is, I know exactly where he is at. Where you don't want to admit anything everything makes you mad, and you feel like your so alone but you don't want to do anything about it.

I can't help but think it's partly my fault, the only thing that I think would make this better would be to take my 40 days of sobriety that I have now and keep going. At least that's where I'm at today.. I used to be in a place where I would say screw it and just go use again.

That was the easier way out of course, but reaching out, telling my story really helps me heal.

We need others to lift us up its the best medicine and when your family is struggling because your struggling we're all struggling. It's the time that we all need to pull together as one and fight this thing. My cousin told me about To Write Love On Her Arms. It's something that I'm looking into that I think if your into service or looking for a way to heal its a wonderful thing to check into!
