People I’m struggling with family

My AA buddy sent me a quote for such an occasion. “I don’t let people who haven’t walked in my shoes tell me how to tie them.”

It is my hope that you will also find help and support from others who you didn’t expect to find it from, and that is beautiful!

Looser? What is their grounds? They might need to get off their high horse and stop pointing blame, they could just be deflecting their trash.

Stay focused and you may have to cut them off for awhile. You need positive influence and they aren't it.

We have all been "losers" at some point. But you're not one NOW and that's what matters. It takes time to get peoples trust back sometimes. Don't trip, stay on your path.

They likewise im sure... lol

Family can be triggers. Trust me I know. Stay away from them if you can. Set boundaries. Tell them what you need and what bothers you. If you can’t say it to them in person write a letter. You have all the rights in the world to set boundaries and keep yourself sober and serene. Make amends and ask for forgiveness is huge in getting family on board. If you have unresolved conflicts that needs to get resolved before everyone is on the same page. Take care.
