Welcome to SR and welcome to our family

You will find many of us have loved ones that are controlled by this awful disease - addiction, alcoholism, etc.

It is cunning, baffling and powerful - It does take them away from us and break our hearts.

But the good news is there is HOPE - Hope for you! You can learn how to take care of yourself and have a happy life regardless of their actions. It isn't easy - it takes time, work and determination - but we are working on that and will be glad to help you along your way.

Please keep reaching out for help - if you can attend some Al-Anon/Alateen meetings, read some of the literature and again - keep posting here! There are lots of resources to help you deal with your Mother's drinking - Most of all remember -

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!!
You didn't cause it
You can't control it
You can't cure it.

Sending out thoughts of peace and love to you,
Rita
