I feel really bummed out, and a little betrayed.
Ive left my family before in my mess of addiction and i havent been consistant in being there for them. I feel my sister whos 14 feels it the most as she has an indifferent attitude towards me and whenever i try to endulge in conversation she just brushes me off, sighs, rolls her eyes at me. I feel like she hates me but is too proud to express it. I could really use a friend with all that being said. Help?
Maybe it's just because she's a teenager and doesn't understand it all fully? Give her time.

@mikkie377103 I say this all due respect and brotherly love however do you blame her?
In your 2nd sentence you clearly said "I've left my family before..."
You're 223 days sober. (Keep up the good work.)
Just because you're sober doesn't mean all is good. Keep in mind the number of years and/or broken promises you've created. It's going to take twice as long for you to right the wrong even if you already made the amends to her.
Just remember your family is watching you. To a certain extent they are waiting for you to phuq up again.. thus the eye roll.
I say this because even with 36+years of sobriety my family does the same thing.
It's all about keeping your side of the street clean.
I'm here/hear for you. Add me and we'll talk more about this.
