52 days that is just great. Your story made me so for the little girl you were who didnt get the parental love you so deserved - but maybe that is what will give you the courage now to change your life.
Thanks you so much for sharing and congrats again on 52 days.

Teardrop, you are an amazing person who is overcoming not only the grips of alcohol but a lot of suppressed emotional issues and hurt.

It is so important to find within yourself the peace to let your past go in order to move on. My story isn't too far off from yours, except it was my mother who was the abuser and my dad did nothing. I am working on this too. To bury the past so to speak. It is so important if we want to overcome addiction and get on with living our lives.

52 days, probably 53 or 54 now, is a wonderful start. Keep on going, this is the beginning of the rest of your life. You will only get stronger with each and every day.

Thank you for sharing your story. It takes a lot of courage to share such intimate details of your life.

Teardrop, it's so hard to know what to say - anything I think of sounds like a cliche or a rote response - but your story touched me deeply, and I can only say that I am so glad you are here, I am so glad you have found the strength to begin your AF journey - 50+ days is something to be so proud of. You are a remarkable, strong woman.

Its better to let go and work on goodness in your life. You cannot reverse wot has happened, but you can look at all the good you are doing for yourself...then you can give and you have much to give...:l

Teardrop - I am rather late coming in here - but at least that means your important story gets bumped(!) - to say thank you for telling us about your past. It takes courage and openess and trust and quite a lot of self-belief, things you have worked hard for and so deserve to be beginning to feel.

I so remember you from the first London meet and just how much courage it took for you to go there - and how lucky I was to be sitting at your (our!) end of the table; it was good to talk to you.

And now, look! So nearly 60 days! You have done, and are doing, so, so well......I hope you're incredibly proud of you! I am, if I may be so bold as to say so?!

I am wishing you all the success in the world and more and more of feeling better and of hugging your little girl inside....it's your turn now!

Love and hugs,
Finding.... xxx

Don't know why but thought i read my story just to see how far i have come, and realize now that i need to face up to my past and not bury it. If i don't acknowledge out loud it doesn't exist, will not hurt me. If i don't admit that anything is wrong then nothing was. Am ready to put into words and start working on me for once.
Three years sober you would of thought i would of had it all sorted out by now !!

I don't know how I stumbled on this thread as it started so long ago, but I'm glad I did. And I think it's remarkable and inspiring that you are still sober. That is TRULY WONDERFUL. Your story is heartbreaking and its terribly sad that it still eats at you today. As you know, you are not alone. There are so many here to wrap you in love and remind you that the vile words & actions from you father and complacency of your mother are a reflection of them, NOT YOU. It's unfortunate that we don't choose our parents, but we can choose not to believe ugly lies. You are clearly here for a powerful reason. I applaud you for staying true to your sobriety in spite of not having it all 'sorted out' yet. Please keep reaching out and letting others in. You can find the love and support here. All the best to you...
