Thank you all so much for the support. It is much appreciated.

The shock has worn off for the most part. In some senses, I knew it was coming. Once you can recognize the signs they seem impossible to miss. I will be journaling like mad for the next couple days, just trying to get it all out- the pain, the anger, the disappointment, etc.

I have to remember that my brother is not my dad. He is much younger and could turn this around/get sober. I'm cautiously hoping. My dad has been addicted for something like 40 years, so I grew up with him that way. It feels like a whole different game when someone who was once sober is now addicted. It's quite painful.

Thanks again, SR community.
