thank you @lumbeemama

@babyalbertsmom thank you so much for sharing your story and congrats on the baby and being sober for 3 years

That's a really good text to send @mrshamilton830 I hope she cleans up for everyone's sake, including her own.

@mrshamilton830, I just have to say, I know what your going thru, I'm going thru the same thing as my fiance has finally broke down after I have been gone since Friday and he has hit the bottom realizing that he is an alcoholic. he will be getting help, unfortunately not able to start the program til next Thursday, but it's literally the most stressful time, and we are a month away from babies arrival. all I can say is be there for her, I know it's hard. we had a family intervention and I ended up leaving again, and after one last night of drinking it hit him. Maybe it could help to do the same. assure her that you love her and don't want to see her killing herself. if there is anything I can help with, feel free to msg me. I'll be sober 3 yrs in July also from alcohol, and now I'm on the other end as he has relapsed

@katierouleau21, her husband enables her, he gives her money to buy drugs

@lumbeemama, this is what I just texted her

I think you are, I'm not going to sugar coat it I still think you have a problem I know you haven't been to rehab and I honestly feel like you are OK with the life style and you don't want help, I can't force change on you, I know you are going to Deny it but I know you I knew you were doing drugs before you ever came out and said anything, you can't lie to me because I know you, I try not to beef with you because I know what you out here doing and I would hate for us to be beefing and something happen to you, I don't look at you like no drug addict I look at you like my sister who has some demons she needs to fight, I don't even want you to lie about it I prefer you not even say anything, just know I know you, and whenever you want the help in willing to do whatever I can you help you, I have a new baby coming and what better gift to give your new niece or nephew than an aunt that has her stuff together and can be an active part of its life

@mrshamilton830, you'll feel like you found a second family.. Everybody there is going thru the same thing you are. My first meeting i jus sat there, listened & I was able to connect n someway with every single story I heard. I call it my home. They make you feel safe to share and get advice with not only dealing with the addict but life in general. It's not religious based but is based on having a faith in a higher power. Please look into it.. It will do wonders in your life!

@mrshamilton830, how are you going to handle it? I'm starting to think tough love is the only thing left to try.

@mrshamilton830, that's exactly the same way I feel about my mother. Honestly girl, I don't know what to do anymore. I can handle the denying it and not taking responsibility anymore.

@lumbeemama, it's so hard and she's getting worst I don't want my only sister to die but that's the reality of the situation

thank you I will definitely look into it I feel like I'm so alone and no one knows what I'm going thru and I'm not even the addict @katierouleau21

I just had to cut my mom off for her drug habits. I feel guilty but I can't keep sitting around and watch her destroy her life. You're not alone girl:/ I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

@mrshamilton830, it's a group connected with AA but it's for family and friends of alcoholics and drug addicts. Legitimately saved my sanity & help me cope with my mothers alcoholism. It's an amazing program! They usually have a group in every city :) it's worth a try.. I promise!

no what's that @katierouleau21

Have you heard about alanon?
