Honey! Welcome. A friend here in the threads told me, "keep working that knot it will loosen." I don't know why I immediately thought that when I read your post but maybe it's cause you've been working out a big one for a long time.

It's an amazing place to come to for shared advice and empathy.
I'm glad your family is working on cleaning up and getting healthy.
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's friend.

Indeed, Ricangirl!

I have had no other choice but to turn to prayer and lean on my higher power in my sobriety. It might also be helpful to check out family and friends thread?

Welcome! This place has been an amazing source of support for me.

Welcome Definitely keep talking to us about what is going on. We have all had our addiction, and we all take different paths to sobriety.
