Hey Psycho.
You're family sounds like mine. It's been such a struggle with them. I feel like they think I wanted to become an alcoholic psycho mess. I feel like they only see things from their perspective, what my disease is doing to THEM.
Sure, I understand my addiction impacts them negatively. But like you said, it makes it that much harder to stay sober when you feel abandoned.
However, I took on the attitude that "I'll show them I can get sober." It taught me I CAN get sober on my own. In the end, I feel stronger and more confident because I achieved sobriety without them.
I wish you well, you're not alone in this. You have all of us at SR.
