"when anyone anywhere reaches out for help i want the hand of AA to be ther an for that I am responsible" that being said what do i do when it is my sons mom who just lied and manipulated the courts in custody battle.....
well courts over not going there again... just this has been going on for 8 years now she sobers up for what ever is going on wether it be court or DHS or family or what ever... she goes back out and gets on a bad binge and then calls me to help sober her up.... now i have the safety of my son to worry about and my job and everything else and i just want to say NO go roll in a ditch and drown in your own vomit or bottle for all i care... but my son deserves to have a mother who can care and love him soooooo i go get her and do the detox again....
definition of insanity " doing the same actions expecting different results"
One of my old sponsers Clancy U whom died with 52 years sober years ago always preached the "i am responsible" but is there a point where i am no longer responsible for helping or attempting to help her and if so how do i say no sorry i cant do it this time and then how to i quash the feelings of letting my son down letting her down and of my own failure in helping her if i do say no
