found out about an hour ago that my mom had a stroke! wow!!! when i was in counseling groups, i remember the counselor saying that bad things are going to happen in ours lives but we have to learn how to deal with things clean. all of those classes must be paying off because, believe it or not, the last thing i want to do is use.
a part of me feels guilty like maybe she's sick because of all the crap i've put her thru. having a really hard time dealing with my super sensitive emotions. i dont know what to do. she's in nevada and i just moved back to oklahoma. my sister-in-law told me that my moms doing good and not to come. im lost and scared. now that i'm sober, i appreciate my family.
Not always easy to let go and let god or whatever higher power it is you have, or dont have, but simply letting go and letting things happen without us trying to intervene can be difficult. Or even wishing things were different , we can wish all we want we are worriers many of us thats because we like being in total control.
I hope your mom is well and in good care, call tell her you love her and are concerned.
Hi. Hope your mom is doing better. It's funny but for me, big things, like mom having a stroke etc. weren't necessarily triggers to use. It was often the little things. a flat tire, or breaking something. It all comes down to 'using is what addicts do'...we don't need a reason. That's why "we don't use no matter what" is so important.
