Aa, I’m sorry for all that you are going through. I want to thank you for posting this. I agree. Life happens, and that includes good and bad things to the best of us whether sober or not. The problems that disappear are the self inflicted ones created by drinking. And drinking always makes life problems worse. There’s just so much we can’t control. My Dad never drank. Yet he’s endured so much tragedy in life. Estranged from two children (not something that was his fault), lost two others to suicide, lost two wives to cancer. I have a special needs son. This is not
something I caused. We are all dealt different cards in life. The positive is that we can all choose how to play these cards. Sometimes, knowing the right choices is difficult. But an easy one for me is not to drink and make things worse. Lots of support to you.
