Hi Again Everyone: I am finding this thread so very informative & hopeful. This is just what I needed as I anticipate my trip to the parents. I have a lot down there to keep me very busy & will not be drinking at all. I want so much to do this sober.
I again must realize that I am my mother's helper (not keeper). I wouldn't want my kids to be intrusive...even if what they are saying makes perfect sense. I have to realize that my parents (particularly my mother) are not about to change at this point.
I have Smart Recovery in my favorites & like their suggestions about relapse prevention.
Take care everyone. I try to post ASAP after I get back.
Mary
