My heart is heavy with pain. I feel emotionally drained. I'm carrying a lot of pain and sorrow and all alone frfr. But one thing through it all I remain clean and I am grateful for that.

I find with my sobriety I also feel very alone I am also feeling pain and hurt with what I have gone through. I also for the first time am seeing what my addiction has done to my kids. Because of my absence in their life. I now am watching my own son struggling with addiction I have gone through so many painful things in my life. But I would have to say seeing my son struggle with his own addiction is by far the worst heartache I have ever felt. And dealing with this sober is hard. Looking at how my addiction hurt my son is so hard and doing it alone is even harder but like you I'm stay sober and working through it. I will pray for you stay strong.

I can relate with my son...more than i wish I could relate! I recently had a good friend tell me that I should talk with my son about his drinking. As his "mom" I know better...words are meaningless without actions to back them up! I'm taking care of me for me yet the love I show myself will spill over (my cup runneth over) to those nearest to me who I love 
all it seems we can do is set an example for lack of a better word
