HELP PLEASE!!!!I need advice or ” suggestions.” due to my past history with AA and NA and amtgs and failed attempts my mom pretty much despises me going. She thinks it’s another bad connection. I don’t blame her. I know for me it’s a MUST. Other family members feel the same way. I have caused so much pain to them. Especially my children and Mom. If I even mention it , the tension and fear I see and HEAR from them breaks my heart. I’ve robbed them of their peace so many times.i am torn!! I don’t want to hurt them or especially worry them which causes harm too. Especially my mom. She’s not in very good health. Rich or Steve Kidwell or anyone w experience or sound judgement please help me. I can’t keep staying clean this way. I’m white knuckling it as I Tex this…

Well I’m going to a MTG tonight. I’m meeting with my sponsor for first time since my relapse tomorrow at the noon MTG. I just hate to put the fear in my family. Anxiety is absolutely not good for my sweet mother . But looking at it LOGICALLY, if I fail to enhance my spirituality I will be gone again, not even anwsering my phone when they call, […] View
“The spiritual life is not a theory. WE HAVE TO LIVE IT. Unless one’s family expresses a desire to live upon spiritual principles we think we ought not to urge them. We should not talk incessantly to them about spiritual matters. They will change in time. Our behavior will convince them more than our words. We must remember that 10 or 20 years of drunkenness would make a skeptic out of anyone.” -AA page 83
Thanks Rich. I went to the MTG and it was exactly what I needed. Another day sober😊
