The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
My parents moved in with us 3 months ago. They are active A's and drink every night. Things have started to get tense because of the drinking. I'm afraid of confronting them about anything. Afraid to say no, just like when I was a child. I don't want to cause issues because I don't want to see them homeless. I know if I push back when my mom starts getting beligerant that it will get real ugly real fast. So I just get quiet, like when I was a child.
I know this is where my fear of talking to people comes from. I'm hoping to find an alanon meeting to attend.
It is really important o find a Face to face meeting and attend. Living with the disease of alcoholism is extremely difficult and we need a program of recovery in order to regain our true selves. As you know this is a disease over which we are powerless
We o have non line meetings here twice a day. If face to face meetings are not possible please try these and also join the on line chat. Breaking the isolation is also very important
Sounds like you know what you need to do. Sending you love, (((((((((hugs))))))))))), and prayers to help you find a meeting and keep your sanity. This too shall pass.
