My mom keeps bringing up me stealing from her. And pawn shops. I don't know how to stop it. She's taking to a family therapist who helps her learn about this disease. Just she's making me want to use.

This is normal. It takes awhile to regain people's trust after we have burned them over and over again. Don't let it discourage you, just try to understand where she is coming from.

AA and NA have worked for me for help and support.

Wreckage from our past takes time. Have you tried a recovery program yet?

@taylor134616 @mark125999 @kbradford120128 I've been attending NA meetings maybe 2-4 times a week. She's getting a little more used to be but I'm almost 6 months sober. I almost can't stand to hear it anymore. I get so frustrated and she doesn't understand it's tough. Thank you all for your responses.

Well, you’re doing this for you, not her. Keep that first and foremost. Family members aren’t required to understand. It’s up to us to prove to them we mean it. Takes time. Keep hanging in there and keep those meetings going. You are doing the miracle of life now.
Don’t talk to her. Move.
Are you working the NA steps with a sponcor?
