I am 20 days sober today, and just a few days ago found out my sister is finally quitting drinking also. She has liver disease. She detoxed at home which was very dangerous, but would not go for help. She was and still is shaking. At least she is holding food down now. Yesterday I took her for an evaluation at a rehab for intensive outpatient treatment. They told her she has to go to the doctor for medical clearance and she can start outpatient treatment Monday! She goes to the doctor today, thank God. I have been so consumed with her and her problems over the past 5 days that I had trouble sleeping and have not been focusing on my OWN recovery and what I need to do for me. I am worried sick about her, because if she doesn't stay stopped, she may very well die of liver disease. I am trying to get back on track with focusing on me and what I need to do each day. Any suggestions about how to quit worrying about the addict/alcoholic in your life? Its not easy!!

Alanon.
After I had been sober a while I found out I had all these underlying co dependencies. They were affecting my relationships. I didn't have an addict in my life but I found alanon to be more helpful than AA in that area. I was a member for many years and loved it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
