Trying2Fly

So...Alcoholic Sister was in a 30 day program, came out, used again a week later (tranquilizers or something), and now is homeless. Living with a friend and leaving me messages (which I've yet to check). So tired of it all. I'm standing strong by my boundaries--she uses, she's not in my life--but I guess tonight I'm just stuck....on why she keeps doing this to herself. It's like part of her has truly gone insane. Do any of you ever feel like this? That you just don't understand why your A loved one keeps up his / her self-destructive behavior? I know it's "part of the disease"; I know it's the progression of the disease....I keep telling myself, stick to the boundaries and you'll be OK--you'll come out stronger than before--but it can be difficult.

Just needed a rant.

Rant and vent as needed. You're expressing your frustration with her dis-ease.

I'm sorry she was not able to committ to her recovery. It is difficult, but you are doing what is best for you at this time.

(((hugs)))
