I will only speak about my own experience
as there are quite a few members who have
similar situations to yours and have found
help, support and program to give us strength,
love and care when dealing with family members,
relatives, friends that are sick or suffering.

Im an Alcoholic in recovery for 23yrs. as
well as an ACOA. I can't take my moms
inventory today because she is not here
in person to defend herself. I had to cut
all ties with my family of orgin mainly
because it was and is a sick inviroment
for me to place myself in.

Once I became sober and began to get
heathier in many areas of my life, I didn't
want to subject myself to the sickness
that I once was in yrs ago. As sad as it
may sound or be, today, my recovery,
sobriety is extremely important to me,
my body, mind, and soul.

Placing myself back in a sick inviroment
would mean Id remain just as sick as
they are.

Take care of you doing whatever you
need to do to to stay healthy and keep
the illness from spreading within your
own little family. I know I did even
divorcing myself from the ones that
brought me into the world.
