 Question by LEESA: Recovered addict seeking forgiveness from daughter………?
Is it fair for a mother to ask her daughter for forgiveness after she just disappered out of her daughters life and spiraled down the life of an addict? Will the mother after 3 1/2 years of being clean ever get to see or even hear her daughters voice again. And If the mother does get the chance what can the mother say when sorry doesn’t seem good enough. I never stopped loving or caring or thinking about my daughter. Mostly I was ashamed of what I had become. I’ve tried contacting my daughter but she never responds. I hope someone out there has some anwers. I have really turned my life around and did it not only for me but so that my daughter would maybe be proud of me. I have a good job and a very good reputation within the community where I now reside. But it feels like no matter what I accomplish in the future or present it will never be enough to make up for my horrible past. All of my accomplishments mean nothing to me if I can’t have the forgiveness of my daughter
Best answer:
Answer by bandchikkee well yor daughter is always going to remeber what you have done and left her. but you can start it out as trying to be friends.. you have to give her some time to recoup from it. and try going to her house to see her

Question by Katie: Should someone who suffers from alcoholism join the Air force?
My husband is 27 years old. The past year he has come to realize he suffers from alcoholism. He is extreamly smart and alread as a BA degree. But a BA doesnt do much these days. He wants to join the Air force to get training in a specific feild , that he coudl carry out into civilian life. He also hopes to gain his masters there. This past year has been realy hard for us because of his drinking. He has been in out patient since Agust. And 2 weeks ago he went into inpatient. He will be in inpatent till this agust. He hopes with in a few months after getting out to join the Airforce. Im concerned that he will pick drinking up again once he joins . I know people in the military drink a lot. Whne your not working your drinking. Can anyone who has been in the airforce tell me do you think it is a wise decision for him to join? Do they have support group for people who drink? Do they have seperate living quaters for people who dont want to drink? I know a lot fo the reason he drinks is…
because he doesnt have a good job. He says he wants to go and he wont drink while there because he will have a focus and a goal. Im afraid being surrounded by people who drink will make him relapse.
Do people in the airforce drink as much as other branches in the military?
Best answer:
Answer by j H They couldn’t join the military

 Question by NorthernCA/FL: Recovery from alcoholism. I go to more meetings than he does. Is that dangerous?
I have 18 months, he has three years. He was a drug addict as well (me, too–speed, but primary alcohol). In the beginning, we talked all the time about our program, our meetings, sponsors, Higher Power, etc. It has been five months that we have been seeing each other. He is also working nights, and going to school part time. I have noticed that he goes to a meeting a week, and is pretty cynical about the “sappy” people in AA, who “hide in the program.” I am one of the sappy ones…AA saved my life.
Best answer:
Answer by :O) No. Good job I hope you keep up the good work.

Question by packersfan54: Have you recovered from “alcoholism” in a group setting that’s not AA?
I have a feeling that I need to stop drinking for a while. More of a screaming realization. Anyway, I’m an “agnostic” so any method using god doesn’t work for me. I’ve heard of other programs, but not much. Have you ever gone through these programs? Willingly?
Best answer:
Answer by Helen W. I am ten years sober. I went to AA for a while, long enough to tell you that it definitely IS difficult to do the AA program if you are agnostic–do not believe the “spiritual not religious” nonsense that they’ll tell you.
I would strongly suggest you look into SMART Recovery. It is a secular program and I did try it for a while after I left AA. Turns out I didn’t need a program anymore at all, as I had been sober for many years. But from what I could tell, it was a very logical and sound program.
Good luck.
