In no way you are worthless to your family, you are getting clean, that's the best thing you can do to enjoy your family to the fullest. You are almost there, keep on fighting.
With all my support. xoxoxo. sophie.
I think it helps to break things down into manageable pieces. There is so much going on in your life it must seem overwhelming. What we did while my husband was freaking and a mess was to keep making lists.There were job issues, money issues, health issues, drug issues. Separate everything into its own category. We even made a notebook. It helped to just put stuff down on paper and get it out of his mind. Write your plans down so you can see what you are doing and what your direction is. It is a battle and needs a strategic plan.
Obviously the first and most important step is to focus on the drug addiction. Let the other problems ride; they will be there after you feel stronger. Make a good drug detox plan. Use this site ALL THE TIME. Keep posting, keep reading, and check out what you are going through with the different members here. People here have lots of experience.
Keep it very simple. stay clean for an hour. don't listen to your bad thinking. Keep posting. Let us know how you are doing. This is going to be very hard but you have people here to help who have been through this before you and can act as guides.
