Hi Liz, take things one step at a time. The thing is with this addiction when we stop is that we can get very anxious, lots of anxious thoughts, some based on possibility but many not based on anything but fear. And on Friday I went 8nto overwhelm but it passes. We just deal with one thing at a time and try to self care.
Your daughters life is hers, we can’t control what our children do just be there which is enough. Let go of control over outcomes. You know u r doing a good job liz. You have to forgive yourself, it’s an 8mportant step in recovery. We r all coping with the aftermath of this addiction, and for some of us it will take the rest of our lives. But this doesn’t stop me from finding things to enjoy in life.
