Around June I decided to take a break to see how I well I could do on my own. Did really well until the end of June when I had to go get my mom from Florida and become her caretaker.
She has been diagnosed with dementia and although I am not back to drinking at my highest level, my doc warned me that I am now drinking out of depression. Now I am transitioning from being a full-time employee and full-time mom to a full-time caregiver and full-time mom.
It is so easy to reach for a drink knowing that you don't have to go to work even thought the days as a caregiver/mom are so much harder.
Anyway, I am going to slowly ease myself back into this. I am not sure if I will start back on the topa or not. It wiped me out so much.
