Family program - lifesaving.

[malibu]

I am on my phone and would take too long to type out, but I just finished the four day family program.

The misconceptions and misinformation I had regarding addiction was mind blowing. I now know why my aunt, an addict who is literally killing herself drinking - as in has been told she has less than five years to live - continues to drink.

I did not come home cured of my anger, resentment or guilt. I didn't miraculously come home full of self-esteem. I did, however, gain a huge understanding of addiction, and tools to cope.

More tomorrow when I am in front of a computer.

I'm so glad it was helpful! I would love to hear about the parts that resonated with you the most.

I'm so glad it went well, Malibu. I've been thinking about you.

Malibu you are handling this so well. You're strong and loving and so willing to do what it takes to understand all of this and you're an inspiration. ((Hugs))
