Congratulations on your recovery OklaBH. That was a great post! I know what you mean about family. The 5 minute rule doesn't work with most of my family. My brothers used to call me up at 1-2 in the morning drunk just to yell at me for not calling them. The stress of that put me so close to the edge. I ended up changing my cell phone number and not giving it to them. My life and sobriety is more important to me. You can pick your nose, you can pick your family's nose, but you can't pick your family.
