Hey Dee well im still in the same situation I was before with a bad home environment and stuff but I just feel more determined than before, unlike before when my parents decided to yell and scream and cause my anxiety and panic attack I would let it take over me but now I feel better equipped and even though it still gets to me I feel im handling it better.
my sister has also moved back in as she ran into money trouble so that makes it easier as me and her get on very well but she's not here all the time because of work
the was I feel now is they can scream and shout at each other and drink themselves silly every night which I know they will but I wont let it derail me from coming out of this with my head high and a new life to show for it!

Hey Paul, Welcome back.
I understand how families of origin can created stressful environments. I, too, suffered from extreme anxiety and panic attacks due to home filled hostility. Any way you see yourself being able to separate from that?

Paul, changing the way you deal with your environment is the only way you can control it, so it's greatt hat you are already looking at ways of doing that. It's also good you have your sister. Other than SR is there any other way you are helping yourself in your sobriety?
Keep in mind, you have done it before,you can and will do it again.

well money has always been a problem in moving out, id be quite happy with just one room and the peace and quiet lol but I am saving up at the moment so its will hopefully come in time, I realise that things here wll always bring me down and make me ill so the only thing I can do at them moment is save up and eventually move out of hope something may pop up

I used to be apart of the quitting club. When times got too hard I would walk away. When times got good I would think I dont need this no more. Notice that this has to do with my THINKING and not my drinking. Thats where it starts in our minds, our thoughts. So I would walk away from working the program and going to meetings. This is how we stay sober, working and more work.
