Going to any lengths. To do whatever
one needs to do to protect your own
recovery and sobriety. To know it's
okay to stand strong and say NO, I
will not give in.
To say to myself, yourself, that my
recovery/sobriety is top priority
and that I will protect it No Matter
what.
We have the choice to not have
to handle alcohol. We have the
choice to not have to look at it.
We have a choice to say NO, I
wont touch it, look at it, be around
it because the temptation is too
strong, to tempting for me to handle
I am grateful that my little home was
alcohol free while I was and still am
living a life in recovery. Respect from
my spouse and children who were not
sick with addiction, was a great help
an appreciation as I stayed sober one
day at a time.
A parents home is their homes. Not the
kids home. Respect from children, small
as well as adult children is important if
they remain in the house.
They, adult children should respect
parents if they are in recovery and
visa versa if recovery /sobriety is to
be successful.
Remembering that this is your home
and not the children's home, especially
if they have turned 18 yrs old and are
considered adults now.
If that makes sense.
Im glad you left the club parking lot
and once again as a good suggestion,
in recovery, those club parking lots
are no place for someone learning to
achieve a strong, healthy life in recovery.
Take care of you and protect your recovery.

Toni: Why not tell your son not only that he's going to pick up his own beer (and pay for it himself) in the future but that you're not going to sit with him when he drinks it just to keep him company, that you're in Recovery from the illness of alcohol and that if he keeps going the way he is he better watch what you do since it is likely to come in handy for him if he continues. These are the facts. The illness is said to be 60 percent genetic. Once when I was in the hospital I asked my oldest son to visit me there and I gave him the straight facts. Neither of my sons have become addicted to booze or pills. Despite all my failings that was one thing I could do for them. My gift. Reality. Freedom from slavery.
