Feeling absolutely steam rolled with the realization of alcoholic
Permalink  

After reading the first two "Getting Them Sober" there in those pages I found the root of my broken relationship. I feel so exhausted, physically, mentally and emotionally. I have cried a lot this morning, greiving the loss of an idea, facing the reality. I figure I need to let these feelings roll through and out of me, because I need the strength and courage which are behind them.

I am grateful for this website and introducing me to this information and to see I am not alone.

Glad you have found us. I have shed more tears than I could believe one person could have. But being in the fellowship of alanon and knowing I am not alone and will never be alone to handle this disease and to get myself healthy has been my saving grace.
I still find myself grieving from time to time ( my son is my A) the loss of the son i knew before this disease took over. But he has been in recovery for a little while and I am slowly seeing him come back to us. But I also know that recovery holds no promises so I hope and pray for him but thats about the extent of what I can do to help him.
When I first got here I was so broken I saw no hope of ever putting myself back together, but little by little, day by day I put the pieces of my life back and am hopefully becoming the person my HP wants me to be.
Blessings to you

I truly understand, and it can be overwhelming. I am glad you are here. I am glad you read the books. The reality can be very sad, and it will also be a new beginning. Thanks for posting. I have been where you are. It helps to cry, and it certainly is needed to let the feelings roll away and not stick.
I am grateful for this website too. Glad you are here.

I've learned so much and am still learning from all the folks here. ¨Getting Them Sober¨ (I have the first one)is a great book, I'm glad you got to read it. In fact, I think it's time for me to read it again. Remember you are definitely not alone!

I remember being exactly where you are right now.  Drained, still confused, hurting, missing them terribly one second and then wanting to poke their eyes out the next . . . ok maybe that was just me . . . but the fog starts to lift as we learn more and realize that we aren't as crazy as they made us believe - that this isn't right, it isn't normal - and it isn't all our fault.

The lovely thing is, it will continue to get better and we are here for you. 

So glad you are here.

Big ((hugs)).

Tricia
