Just found out today my mom’s in the hospital with breathing problems.
She was a smoker for most of her life and the damage that it caused left her on an oxygen machine.
I was notified her machine stopped working this morning and she couldn’t breathe so she had to call an ambulance.
I’m a little freaked out because I’m in colorado and she’s in California, basically alone.
It’s not making me want to drink but the thought has crossed my mind that God forbid something happens to her would i let that bring me under and use it as an excuse to drink again.
I hate being so far away and feeling so helpless.
@Rikk aw man that’s horrible. Sending you and your mum all my good vibes.
Think of it this way…if you did relapse then you’ll have two things to be upset about rather than one. It sounds clinical but it’s true.
Stay strong, mate

Thanks…just had to vent i guess, kinda got overwhelmed with the news and knowing there’s nothing i can do from where I’m at but worry.
As far as i know she’s doing ok…she’s just getting to that age and her health is declining so i worry.

@Rikk Yes, I understand! Glad she’s doing better!
Well the word on my mom is that her oxygen machine stopped working and do to the lack of oxygen she was receiving it caused her to have a minor heart attack.
She’s been in the hospital under close watch but should be released sometime today.
A new machine has already been put in her house and a friend will be picking her up today to bring her home.
I’m so happy she’s going to be ok i just wish i could be there.
