I feel that I am troubling my family with my addiction. They keep trying to be there for me but what I really need is to be left to figure it out on my own and not to worry them.....is that stupid?

When I was in active addiction,I wasn't able to figuire anything out but how to get another drink.Your family cares about you.It's up to you if you're going to do something about it.Your disease is telling you "I want to just be left the hell alone".

I have no advice but I wanted to say I feel the same way and want to watch for others opinions on this issue. Anger and resentment I am told is part of this? !Athena!

You always have to put yourself 1st. It is only by loving yourself that you're truly able to love someone else. That means making our own mistakes. There's no greater learing experience than having our own personal experience with things.

Ohhhh thats a tough one, and of course we do/did trouble our family, not that we could see it.

I felt the same, they would try and hide drink, try and feed me, they said they loved me, all the things I did not want.

In the end I had to scream, please leave me alone, only I can get the help that I need, they did leave me alone, but only because they saw that I meant it, I went out and I found help, and now we are truly one big happy family believe me.

I knew they cared, and I cared to, but I also knew that I was lost, and there was nothing they could do, so we were all beating each other for nothing.

Trouble is you cannot stop people loving you, so give them some back, go and find the help your dreaming of

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
