My Week - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Juls · 10-19-2002, 10:17 PM

Well, my brother went into a treatment facility Thursday, which I'm very happy about. But if he chooses to leave he cannot return here. I love my brother and I want to help him, but I cannot jeapordize my recovery. It was rough having him around while he was using.

The business is off to a good start. I've had several clients this week, with ladies rescheduling appointments because they liked their treatments. Everyone in the shop is really nice, and we all seem to get along well together. The manicurist in particular, has been so great. All my clients were her clients that she introduced me too.

Today I am tired and happy. It has been a good week for me, and I hope others have had a good week too.

Juls,

I'm so happy things are going well for you. I know how hard it is to worry about a family member who is struggling. Hang in there. Knowing he can't come back to your house may just keep your brother in treatment.

You're really doing great. Congratulations on your new business. That took a lot of strength.

Hugs,
MG

Great to hear about your business doing well. I'm thinking of the slogan,"Let go, Let God." Your brother is in God's hands.
