need help

That's the facts of alcoholism.. It is a life we r talking about and the family involved. There r real ...how long can the kindness be perceived to face thw facts that every minute on alcohol takes time off a life.

life is a GIFT

That can be said for every single cause of death,  actually.

Heart disease?   Put down the donuts.

Cancer?   stop smoking

Car crash? stop driving.

Diabetic?   Stop eating sweets

Do you see where I'm going here?    It concerns me that you're not actually listening.

Ok that the spirit... We r talking about alcohol. Not smokers or diabetis suge intake oh let's talk about autoimmune diseases. HIV. STDs 

just  add on the excuses..

Hi, hope you are well, I fully understand your feelings  of anger because of the terribly sad situation with your son but some of your brutal replies are not really helping...... every single alcoholic regrets every single time that they have hurt anyone, especially the very people that love them most, love needs to be unconditional !!! And never giving up on your loved ones...

People have faults and failings, I am sure that you maybe helping others in the way you feel is best but in all honesty your replies are so harsh and  and with absolutely no empathy  it  does not help people to think that their problems are being understood.   ..  as I have said before I was only two weeks from death on my final section but the fear of giving up overwhelming overrides any other emotions......

 I truly wish you peace of mind and I hope that your life and every other person on this site has a happier and hopeful tomorrow..

God bless, Deidre x

Have you ever had to deal with being in the midst of a physical craving?

It is so,  so much more than you're trying to make it.

Yes chocolate. I'm afraid that where this is going is ok and I understand UR point all to well. Life is too short. 

Awsome u have found sobriety. Many do & many don't.

Okay THAT made me giggle!   Chocolate is also my nemesis lol

Good to hear there is laughter. I may be a broken and a wounded mom that will never change that's who I am now. I am fighting for my sons life and as many others as I can.. This is not a black and white struggles.. It's different for everyone. I always find ways for healing thru prayer and whatever else works . In life it's always something. 

Thanks for UR support..

 

I've been trying to be as polite as I can, I see your intentions are good,  but you need to find a different approach... every time I see your replies I feel upset and somewhat angry. But somehow I can still see your still upset or angry at your son.. your actually transfering  your anger to me.. maybe you can be a little easy.. I don't respond to we'll to threats dying as far as I know if I die I won't feel anymore.. doesn't seem scary to me. (I had different life and death experiences that they don't scare me anymore I lin los angeles ca) please I ask you again to be more nicer as I been.. I'm not the same type of alcoholic as your son is because I maintained a job for 9 years I never been with out work nor the streets.. thnx guys but hope seems to still be angry with her sons life and how it was not what she expected of him. She now knows how all alcoholics and tthe recovered don't like to be treated.. 

The mind of a alcoholic.

What do you want to hear from me after so much disrespect.. should we put our salaries or life achievements on the bulletin so you can understand I'm not as bad as your son. I've been around worser alcoholics but the difference is I left alcohol went to cannibas on purpose. I still have control, I just don't care sometimes especially when I have ppl around me behaving the way you are. If your comments are not positive your gonna get the same respond. Nobody as a human being wants to be misstreated. Have u heard of fight or flight.. These are instincts human instincts and if you are treating your son with this your not getting far at ALL.. it's just going to force him quicker on any type substance.

There's a lot of wisdom in your post,  salp.  

Hope,  I'm now pleading  with you.

I completely understand where you're coming from but unfortunately you're presenting it in a bit of hostility.    

I know you're hurting.    So are we.   Nobody owns the monopoly of sadness,  of depression,  regret,  or guilt.  

Constructive criticism is one thing.     Blunt hostility is an entirely different thing.
