GoldenSands, you've made the right choice going for sobriety! I am sorry to hear about your sisters and unfortunately becoming sober is a decision we all must make for ourselves.

I don't think you should compare yourself with your sister, that you are "not even 1/4 as consumed with drinking" as she is. If we continue, we will get deeper and deeper into alcoholism, and you are doing the right thing to stop while you can. It's not going to get easier.

I understand it must be hurtful seeing your family being so affected by alcohol. But I think right now you must focus on your own sobriety and your own struggles. Maybe with time they will get inspired by how well you are doing. Unfortunately we can't force people to get sober, they must want it desperatly enough.

Stay strong, GoldenSands, you can do this!
