Wish I could medicate
I know I shouldn't think this way but its been a rough, stressful week. All old family pain and feelings are coming back. My sister is driving me crazy with calls. Leaving me messages telling me how sick my brother is. I just want to ease this feeling. I feel as though my head is going to pop out and my stomach is always on the verge of throwing up. I won't drink so don't worry. I just needed to confess this to someone. My sponsor is not available.
Stress is always there in life, I think - but especially if you have a somewhat dysfunctional family.
I've had to learn not to own my family's dysfunction - it's taken me a while, but I'm definitely getting there.
I do not need to solve problems for people they can, and should solve, themselves.

It was enlightening when I discovered just how dysfunctional my family was and is growing up. LPN as many have said to me on bad days. This too shall pass. Rough weeks always bite! Keep your chin up and take it one day at a time. I know it sounds so cliche.....but sometimes the things that seem just so awful today are not so bad tomorrow. Different day different perspective. Same goal. Stay sober and live = LIFE.
Keep it together and best of luck.
