Confessions

This is the place to get it all out! Tell us what's on your mind. What's the worst thing you've done for your addiction? What's the worst thing that's happened to you because of your addiction? How have you been affected because of someone else's addiction? How has your life as an addict affected the ones you love? Reading and writing these confessions help us realize the impact that the addictions have over all of us. When posting your confession, you can choose to remain anonymous or let others see your profile name as to bring about discussions.

Good observation/quote

"What screws us up most in life is the picture in our heads of how we think it is supposed to be". ---unknown---

I know that is what got me this week.  It's been a rough one. And not from my addict, but from the "good" child.  My addict has "been there" for me during my mother's illness, passing, and now a few weeks later, he's still hanging in there.  That's enough to be thankful for today. 

Letting go of my daughter doesn't mean I will stop caring, it simply means I know I am powerless to make her care.
