Thank you...

Thank you all for the advice. My mother does suffer from mental illnesses and has been institutionalized several times in the past. She believes she is 100% better now. She has come a very long way I do give her credit with that, however I wish she could understand mental health along with sobriety is a life long struggle something we have to work on everyday, you're not just one day healed. I am learning that if I want to have a relationship with her, which I do, I need to accept the fact that this is who she is and set boundaries.
It was so great to go to a meeting and be around people with similar struggles. Young, old, poor and wealthy we all are addicts and can help each other. I feel truly blessed and am thankful to be sober today.
