Hi Vera,
Thank you for your concern and reply.
I am so glad that you are working hard and using the opportunity to grow in GA, you will be amaze that GA has a lot of useful materials , Ken has been a good mentor and blessing to many a new recovering person, that includes the both of us.
Well, my mum is already more than 85 years old, my family can afford to enable her, we are all trying to make her life as comfortable as we can.
I have tried to gently assist and encourage mum to give it all up but her resistant is very strong. This habit is more than 50 years old, I don’t think I want my mum to suffer from withdrawal at this stage of her life. We will just allow her the freedom to enjoy what she wants to do.
She is also a recovering cancer patient plus old age is restricting and giving her much inconveniences, just hope she is happy in her remaining days.
The last thing I want is to see her sink into self pity and depression neither do I want to go into one and blame her for triggering me.
I will pray and work harder to stay focus in God and my recovery.
