Hi. I'm new to this. I have alcoholic parents but my mom is the reason I'm here. I'm a little shy right now since I am new to this. I don't know what else to say right now so I'm done with this message.

I am 18. I like all what you said. What does it mean to be a veteran member? Thanks for replying. (((((hugs))))))

Welcome glad you are here. A veteran member has been here for a while and the status of being"veteran" is based on the amount of posts that person has posted.

When I came to this board my whole life was spinning out of control. All aspects of it. My mom and dad, sister and brother and my husband. I am surrounded by addiction of some sort or another. I have learned to let go and detach with love from all of them. If I did not find this place and alanon I would be a lost little mouse in this huge world feeling all alone and in dispare. Now I am at peace for the most part with all of the people in my family and don't feel so torn and like I have to help everyone and fix everything. I have friends here and know I am not alone.

I have learned that I did not cause this, I can't control it and I can't cure it.

Keep comming back
JJ
