Sounds like your sisters haven't really 'escaped' the family situation - more like they're using their own coping mechanisms that aren't necessarily healthy. Sometimes the only way to recover from longstanding toxic patterns is to take some time and space for yourself and only reconnect when it's possible to do so in a way that doesn't set you up for hurt.

{{{{{{{Bri}}}}}}} .... hope you're doing better today. Lots of support and good thoughts coming your way. Take care of yourself today - and tomorrow - one day at a time.

I hadn't realized we left this thread for so long. I checked Phagebook this morning to find a lot of drunk pics of my family. I'm watching my attitude cuz everybody has to live his own life. As far as living mine, I haven't had the itch in a while. I feel maybe normal.

I did have stress this week, a terrible kindergarten team showing up for a CPSE/CSE meeting, but I compartmentalized it.

I remembered how I found this thread so helpful at one time and felt it important to record this day here and to thank the others who have contributed in the past.

As of this moment I gave been 2000 days without alcohol.

I've been alcohol free for almost ten hours. Straight.

Come to think of it, I'm prolly not alcohol-free quite yet.

july 28th, 2015. 33 days today and counting, funny thing is that I have not drank for this long since I was on my hiatus from society. The difference this time (from when I got out)? Knowing and admitting step 1 and wanting to quit, and not being ordered by the state to go to AA or similar program. I have way too much on the line now, they were always there before, but they were hiding behind the heineken curtain.

The rewards are numerous! improved marriage, improved relationship with my son, better sleep, no hangovers, better health (except for smoking, started smoking more), endless supply of ice cream , in the process of getting my medical back so I can fly when I want to, jet training, job flying several models of jets that are covered by the type rating I will eventually obtain (about 6 months to a year or so), and so on and so on....list is pretty long !
