yes Dee74 . Dealing with a crisis is a NEW situation for me. (sober). I always wondered why I drank so much all these years. Last night I was thinking maybe because of my sister always disrupting our family with all her drug ansd mental outbursts. I look back now in hind sight that when I would go and visit my parents, listening to all the crap she does and the grief she gives my parents I feel helplessbecause my parents are enabelers to her. So I drink more when I am around them. go figure...you would think you would want to hide it from your parents. I needed it. Now I need to learn how to deal with life without the bottle.
