My sponsor is like a father to me and we have a lot in common: same hobbies, career, educational background, etc. He is in his sixties and I am 29. I'm hoping that I can focus on my self while I finish school and get better. Some days I am sad and confused, but I know that I am much stronger and wiser than I used to be. I have been trying to be in the present moment as much as possible instead of obsessing about the past and the future.
The biggest problem in my life is my so is drinking and it hurts me. It makes me cry inside and I feel like I don't know what to do. I should have stayed away from relationships in early recovery but I love this person and I don't know what to do. Internally I know I have to let her go so she can work on herself. If I was alone I think I would feel a little sadder, but I know I would be doing the right thing.
