Oh my god, how sad is this?

She's going to lose EVERYBODY!!

She told me the other day. "There is no happiness in this house, no one is nice to me, no one cares for me, I just want peace"

I said "We've been dancing to this tune for over 3 years. I know you went through hell, but your coping mechanism is NOT going to work for you.

You need to dry out, get help and face the new day. And there will be a new day. You can meet new people (in exactly the same situation you are now in).

She has numbers of rehab places (for her son), and he won't go.

I said "your son has to clean up his own act, THIS IS YOU WE ARE TALKING ABOUT'.

Then she asks me "do you think I can do this, I don't want to face the pain, I don't want to do it cold turkey, I am weak".

I simply say "who said you need to do this cold turkey". "There are people who will help you, but you need to make the first move, THEN I SAID"

"Now stop talking about it, because all this is just noise (I read that once).

"Get yourself clean and sober, and take back your health".

"Nothing tastes great like the taste of good health".

She just says "But I'm afraid, I'm afraid".



.........I'm going to say what either Twinks or Jo-mar suggested.

I'm copying and pasting and printing it out.

Hard to do (I've known her over 35 years.)

Thanks much my friends.
