I hate losing. I took my mother back to the liver doctor today who told her they think now she can take a new med that has a 95 percent clearance rate for hepatitis, and after he gave her lab orders for blood work he told her she’d have to take a drug test which i had no idea would not be ok she had told me nothing and hasn’t gotten in any trouble in a long time. But apparently there are issues and I don’t know what to tell her to do but that’s it I’m done mostly wasting my time and effort. the point of continuing a behavior when your family and your doctor are trying to treat you for the consequences of it in the first place (I"m not stupid) eludes my understanding. So I had a bad day. I lost my father to overdose years ago and guess I may lose my mother for similar reasons only slowly and there apparently to my dismay is nothing I can do about it. I hate losing.

In a sense you’re right that there’s nothing you can do about it. My personal advice would be to Let Go and Let God.
My Dad is an alcoholic, so I know something about the disease concept of addiction. Actually, I had a lovely experience at Al Anon.
Good wishes,
