I've had nearly the worst month of my life. My mom has had several strokes, my sister has terminal liver disease, my partner and i had the worst fight in 5 years. My support system is disintegrating right before my eyes. I'm alone, my heart is broken, and I've never been this close to relapse. But I'm still here and I'm 2 days away from 6 years in recovery! My soul spoke to me and wispered, you got this. Amen.

Yes you got this!! Odaat!
Stephanie, listen to that voice.... It is your higher power-God telling you you got this and he has your back. Keep the faith. Keep fighting the good fight 
Im so sorry these are the challenges before you. Im coming out of a very long, dark season myself. Just know this will pass. I dealt with beginnings of estrangement from my brother while my mum was battling breast, then esophageal cancer, ultimately terminal liver cancer. Mourned my mums passing 2 years this may. I'm dealing with my dad's ever crumbling mental health with a recent suicide attempt. It's unfair how much some are given. Sending an abundance of love and strength to you 
I hope your mums health stabilizes, and I hope your sister is comfortable.
@stephanie359455 First off ... 
CONGRATULATIONS on your 2192 days of sobriety. Keep up the good work.
Secondly life gets lifey during our recovery.
Acceptance is the answer. Based on my experience, 36+ years of it, God is preparing you for something better and better. He will not give you something you can't handle.
YOU'RE BEING REFINED!!!
