Hi everyone, my name is Sandy and I am an alcoholic. I have been sober for about 15 months now and I am going through a real hard time. Just got out of a real bad abusive relationship that I was in for a little over 2 years. I now reside with my parents and at 37 years old this is NOT where I want to be since my mother has some very bad controlling issues. I have no where else to go except the street, really down in the dumps. Hope to hear positive feedback.

Hello Sandyg Welcome to forum!Congrats on 15 months,above all else keep your recovery first.Funny I had kind of similar situation when I was just about your age,I moved back with my mother after my second divorce,same thing only I was still active.She would meet me at door when I came in at night,question me where I was ,was I high again,my life is crap etc.I ended up in the middle of winter sleeping in my station wagon freezing my butt off but I thought better than first degree interogation everytime I did something,I t was also the disease taking over me though.I would suggest you and your moms try to work it out while you are there but again dont let anything take you from working recovery first.Resentments can really put you over the edge so do what you need to do .Do you have any friends that are clean/sober you could have help till you get settled?Sometimes we have to eat some humble pie,put up with our situation until we can rectify it..I wish you luck,stay focused,put your faith and trust in your HP and believe it will get better as you remain sober..peace
Welcome Sandy!
Happily you have the power to change your living situation, when you are ready. Do you have a job? Try saving about 10% of your income each week, and put it back in a savings account. Don't touch it! Reason being, once there is a comfortable amount, you can start to look at alternative living situations. Finding a roommate might be a first step. Just remember this living situation is only temporary. All my best,
Clint
Welcome Jim and Sandy! You're in the right place, we are all in this together!

Hello Jim, Sandy G, and Taketwocoach!
Welcome to this site! Hope we hear more from all of you!
Sandy - This is only temporary. Compromise, and just try and get along. No one is perfect. For everything you don't like, there is probably something she doesn't like as well. She did take you in. Going to meetings might help with your feelings.
Keep coming back!
