I really need some support tonight!

I suggest you make plans to go to Arizona to just really be with her for a time if at all possible. I am glad you are sober as you con only make matters worse for her and your family if you become "part of the problem" rather than a loving presence. Funny how that beast can turn our most tender thoughts of love and care and grief into an excuse to drink! Don't fall for it. It is your addiction not your best self talking. I don't know you but my family and friends have survived such traumas. It takes time and wisdom. We just don't have answers to all of life's questions. But I know for me the answer is not in the bottle. I don't pray but I will hold you in my heart tonight. Please keep us posted.

This was what I was thinking as well. Drinking isn't going to solve any problem or situation and in fact usually makes things worse. You are more use to your sister sober. One of my mantras is "I can deal with anything as long as I'm sober".

NT what a shock. I am so sorry that an awful tragedy like that could happen to your family. You must all be devastated.

But please heed everybody's wise words here and remember that starting drinking now will make EVERYTHING WORSE.

NT, I am so sorry for what has happened and naturally I echo what everyone else has said. To deal with a tragedy like this through a booze haze would be unimaginable

Not Tonight,

I am so sorry. This is devastating for you. No amount of booze will numb you from something this tragic. It will make it much worse.

Thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray for you and your family.

thank you everyone. I have not been online as I have been organising leaving, however I have remained AF which has enabled me to get through each day. This forum is an amazing source, so full of wisdom, support and camaraderie.

NT, so glad to hear that you are staying AF through this very difficult time. Everyone that I have encountered over the years here at My Way Out who STAY AF through the most difficult times are so glad they did. It is such a blessing to our families and to ourselves to be clear and present through thick and thin.

Travel safely - hope you have the opportunity to check in.

Not Tonight - Good to hear you are hanging in there. I believe that when we find ways to get through difficult circumstances, the stronger we ultimately become. Take care and I too wish you a safe journey. :h

Please BELIEVE you can be that strong. There are many amazing people here on this forum that have gotten through extremely difficult situations and remained sober. If they can do it, then maybe so can we.
