Hey Hope

You would get an A+ from pretty much anyone in treatment circles for wanting to make recovery your P1 mission. I mean, if we aren't sober, we stand to lose everything, including our lives, so seems like a logical decision.

Family. I know as an alcoholic I worry way too much about what other people think. And have drank 'over' or 'because of' the actions of other people, places and things. Bottom line is the job and responsibility of my recovery stop with me. What other people think or do cannot play into that. My recovery is not dependent on what my family does or does not do. If that were the case, I'd be drunk. Soooo what I'm saying is: I don't drink because of what other people in my life do. And I don't stay sober because of what they do either. I hope that makes sense.
