I'm really happy for you...You did GREAT!!! you navigated many social situations with booze and some issues with your FIL and brothers in law.

taking care of parents is NEVER easy....i watched my mother deteriorate and suffer for 4 years, (bone cancer and advanced dementia) juggled a relationship with a gambling addict who was sucking the life out of me and bathed in wine the second i got home from work for relief....2 years into it, i kicked out Mr. Fandy (we were never married thankyouGod for small favors), started the sober journey and I call my sobriety date the day we buried my mother, May 5 2010....also my nephew's birthday and Cinco de Mayo.

you are ahead of the game...and have the power of BACON..(j/k)...i think you have done very well from the last slip....sometimes i think it really does teach us....
