A (scary) step in the right direction for my AM?
Permalink  

My dad told me last night that my AM was in the basement, tripped and fell and hit her head..she's got a bandaid on her forehead. My dad said she had to get my brother to help her upstairs. My dad then told me that she called him(my dad) to tell him what happened and that "she had had too much too drink"...I don't know if this is a step in the right direction to get to Step One but it's the first time I've heard her say this.. My dad told her this, as recently as a month or two ago as I have, as well as my brother and sister have that if she keeps going down this path that one day we'll come home and find her...That thought has crossed my mind more than once...I pray to my HP often to please help my AM to see her problem of drinking... At times I feel so worn down at work muchless at home..but I'm doing the best I can.... If you wouldn't mind keeping my mom in your thoughts/prayers..I'd appreciate it.

I can see you love your mom very much. It's hard for us not to be concerned with their illness.

As far as steps, its so important we just leave their disease to them. It does no good to look for them to reach any bottom or realizations.

Your dear mother wants you to take care of you. She feels horrible that her disease is tearing everyone down around her. What she needs more than anything is for YOU to let go of her disease, and take care of yourself. Find happiness.

Its ok to do that,. Her disease does not have to pull you down! Are you going to meetings? I am so glad you are here. No one wants the way they are to hurt their loved ones believe me.

Getting Them Sober, volume one is  a great book.

You are all in my prayers! keep coming! love,debilyn
