Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by jenny c: What should I do when I don’t like my mother and never want to see her again?
I am the only girl of 4 children. My mother LOVES her screwed up sons, but hates me.

I am 24 and have made a good life for myself, I was a really good kid and never got into trouble!

She invites me over and then tries to fight with me about stupid stuff (like my brother’s alcoholism, things that happened when I was a kid that she says never happened, my husband and I planning our first child!)

I end up telling her I need to go home because her arguments escalate and she won’t let it go until she wins!

She was verbally abusive to me as a kid, it took a year of counseling to accept that my mother doesn’t treat me with respect or love.

I have come to terms with the fact that she will not change, and although I love her because she is my mother, I do not like her as a person.

I honestly never want to see her face again.

I am a happy person, but when I see her I am miserable and end up leaving her house looking and feeling like the bad guy.

What do I do?
I cut her off completely for 6 months and she is back to her old tricks again!
I wrote her a 5 page letter about how she hurts me and why I don’t like seeing her anymore.

She told me it was B.S. and said she was keeping the letter to show me what a bad daughter I am!!!

Question by catherine_ann: Will undergoing alcoholism treatment mean that I won’t be allowed to drink alcohol ever again?
I have been relying on alcohol lately, and I want to change that. I want to treat this alcoholism. I was just wondering if going through treatment would mean never having to drink anything alcoholic ever again in my life.

The goal of alcoholism treatments is to help the person go into abstinence. It’s advisable that you don’t consume any alcoholic drinks in a long span of time. This doesn’t mean that you can’t drink alcohol ever again, just that when you do so, you’ll be sure to do it in moderation. Excessive drinking will have you addicted again in no time, and you don’t want that. If you really want to be sober, work on it. It’s always a wonderful feeling when you’re experiencing bliss without alcohol messing with your brain.
