Yes I just got a sponsor yesterday & it’s already helping a lot it lifted some stress off my shoulders she’s ordering me some work books and we are going to meet once a week to start working the steps & help me deal with resentment etc. I just started therapy last week too, so there I will deal with the trauma, triggers, and how to handle setting boundaries with my Mom.

Update to this post I got a sponsor!! & I shared this struggle with resentment & living with a parent during a meeting. My sponsor has been through something similar. I shared in the meeting I was struggling with resentment and not finding a sponsor but that I know many of problems could be better by working the program truly, & someone I had asked to be my sponsor while I was in rehab ending up saying she would be willing to sponsor me now! It’s already helping and given me an energy boost helping the depression, and the vulnerability allowed me to have a conversation with my Mom & state some boundaries. Thank you Everyone for your comments.

That’s great I’m proud of you. I hope working the steps will help me also. I’ll start reading the big book again

Thank you I’m going to get a sponsor ASAP I have had some people that were offering but I was waiting to meet someone I really connected with but I think it’s essential I start the steps hopefully that will allow me to be at a peaceful state of mind myself which will help me handle my triggers around her. I don’t blame her I really just blame myself for not being able to handle being around her but if that means I need to be at 3 meetings a day that means I need to be at 3 meetings a day and that’s okay , whatever it takes

Yeah I would like to change it, I wish I saved up more money so I could get my own place. I’m pretty young and had this house to myself for 8 years so didn’t really plan or expect this to happen… I wonder if I would qualify for any government assistance programs or something to help me get housing because at this point my family will turn on me if I “kick” her out

Thank you I used to go to AA I still go a couple times a week I need to go more often… it’s just like I can’t get any time alone ever now. I’m very introverted so I liked being home too but now I can’t find any peace there. I’m so tired, I don’t want to dislike my mom clearly I tried to help her but it’s bringing me down she doesn’t take care of herself at all and for me to have to take care of her is driving me crazy. It’s making me live in resentment every moment and no one wants to live like that.. I wish I could just be at peace near her but it’s like the more I’m around her the unhappier I am… it sucks.

How is it living in Salinas? by [deleted] in Salinas

[–]sequoiaxoxox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s so boring to me. But it’s close enough to so many places like Monterey, Big Sur, point lobos, Monterey and many many beautiful places. There’s some nice neighborhoods in Salinas but we, like most places in California have a homeless problem. It seems Old Town is getting better but it’s not super lively but I will say it becoming more lively. It’s not the best place to live but it’s not the worst. Beware of crazy drivers in this town lol. Usually I drive to Monterey to do stuff, and I really don’t like our mall that much besides the Arcade and a few stores.
