Thank you everyone. I am looking forward to working on bettering myself, learning the steps and communicating with all of you. I have never spoke to anyone who has struggled with addiction, I've been alone. I think this place is a good thing.
Anna- I currently still live with my parents. I try to avoid my mother as much as possible, but it is pretty impossible. I am house sitting for a week, the break will be nice. Her negativity and critisms & put downs are exhausting. I know once I move out our relationship will be better, and it'll be a lot easier to work on myself. I am still trying everyday, I have to. But, I allow her to interrupt any progress simply because I don't know how to not, and how to block her out.
