Checking in day 61 from opioids (norcos) after using for a full 10 years this has been one of the hardest and biggest struggles I’ve been through since I was young and dealing with my PTSD. Any advice?

Second check in today 
Had a hard day. My mom died 15 years ago of cancer. My dad couldn’t be alone so soon after that he found a new partner, a younger woman.
Long story short: after a period of emotional struggles between my dad and my brother and I, my father decided to cut us out of his life.
I haven’t seen him for 13 years. Tried to contact him twice but it didn’t work out. Got an email that I may not contact him ever again.
2 years ago a formal co worker of my dad called. My dad got old stuff from our youth he wanted to get rid of. My husband went to get it, I wasn’t allowed to see him. I’ve got 4 big boxes with stuff. Today my brother and I shifted all those photo’s from ourself and our family. Pictures from our beloved mom who we still miss so dearly. My brother biked home afterward crying. I was broken 
Eat all that emotions away with crappy food, but didn’t drank. Tomorrow there’s a new day.

So sorry you’re struggling with that pain @SoberWalker.
Proud of you for remaining accountable through all that. It’s hard to watch those who we’re supposed to share a special bond with continue to make poor and hurtful choices. But those choices are his battle and one that you have no fight in.
Love to you, sister.

Still fucked up, but survive. He just sold his house (my aunt found out) and moved. I don’t know were he lives now. Last week I saw a photo on my stepmom’s Facebook of the view from their house an apartment somewere. It hurts

Oh gosh that’s just heartbreaking. So sorry your dad made that choice. But I’m glad you got some of your stuff back and have good memories of your mom. So proud of you for staying sober through it all! Hugs to you.

When I feel that sort of pain, I do a guided meditation focused on letting go. I hope you can find some peace this evening. Maybe unfollow your stepmom on FB? Take a step toward acceptance.

Today is my day 1 no alcohol. I have tried and failed many times. I always end up binge drinking when I drink…I cannot just have a couple. It ends up being 6 or more sometimes until I black out. I am done feeling this way and am ready to take my life back. I have a supportive family, wonderful kids and a great job. I am thinking of going to therapy too.
