Today I was able to talk to my brother and told him my story about my addiction problems. My brother is struggling to quit drinking and doing drugs and is about to loose his wife and daughters. I begged him to look at my story and that he needs to heal his past thats keeping him stuck. He agreed with me and got of the phone. 30 minutes later he called me back and said he got his work to organize a rehab stay for him where our dad went actually. I feel so grateful that I picked up the phone to call him. I was having a hard time as I had to see my ex today and again watching him leave messed me up again. I needed my big brother he’s my protector in life and he’s been unable to be here for me due to his addictions as well. We both opened up to each other the way family should and I felt connected again for the first time in years. Maybe we can work on our sister next but for now today is a victory day in my mind. So today I’m grateful for my ability to share my healing journey with family, I’m grateful I’m going to have my brother back in my life, I’m grateful that my ex still helps me with things despite our breakup, and I’m grateful for my dog keeping me sane and healing me when I’m sad.
