My daughter came by a bit ago, she is struggling, with desperation and depression. And Im leaving soon. I love her so much, and Im freeking detoxing and had a rough morning. Sorry for the pity party. Thought I would share, apologetically. Life aint easy is it.

Dub, I'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through. You should start to feel better physically, and when you do - please give up the idea that drinking is going to make anything better. It never does - but we cling to that old idea. Getting numb is the worse thing you can do at a time like this. You need a clear head and a plan to get well. Then you can face the future and make sense of things.

Glad to see you posting again.

Dub - its perfectly OK to have a pity party (booze free party) for yourself once in awhile. Whining and complaining and even a big ole holla once in awhile is therapeutic. Do whatever you need to to release stress - EXCEPT drink!

Hey thanks guys. Talked to a best friend from early days. Kind of worked well to talk. This whole scenario is absolutely blowing my circuits. Im just taking it easy for now, knowing that it will pass.

Wow you and my dad are going through the exact same thing right now. Just today I got back from Colorado. My mom left him and we had to move him from San Diego back to his hometown. He had just had a slip after a few weeks sober and he was really struggling. Both my sister and I also struggle with depression and addiction. I'm sober (1 month) she's not. Sounds like a rough Holiday for you. I really have compassion for your situation. I told my dad, if he can stay sober, it will be hard now but much easier later rather than the opposite. I hope you can do it. Also, I hope you start to feel better soon. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Sorry you are having a tough time right now, it isn't easy, but by staying sober you are doing a great thing for your daughter. :ghug3

The biggest thing now is emotions. I am so used to dealing with that, I hardly ever get emotional. guess its my head messing around. Everythings ok.
