I genuinely dont see how my mum will ever get sober, today started off ok and then we went out to lunch, she said she knew today was going to be stressful so she needed a glass of wine (a large one obviously) and then proceeded to get in the car and start driving after drinking which was kinda scary, things are obviously getting worse there don’t use to be this whole “today is xyz so I NEED a glass” or driving after drinking, and then after that she decided we should all go to the pub and I said no and tried to talk her out of it (without mention the alcohol though cuz she will blow up, but I think she knew what i meant) she just left me at home and went anyway with my siblings, then a few hours later my dad gets home, (he works late ish which my mum doesn’t like) she blows up at him for no reason (cuz she’s drunk) and storms off, then she tells me she’s not talking to me or my dad because he’s a “workaholic” so she isn’t talking to us and we can’t call her an alcoholic because hes a “workaholic”, and last night I found LOADS of medicine she’s meant to take to stop her drinking, so clearly she hasn’t been taking it it’s just been sitting there. So this just feels like a perfect example of how tf is she ever gonna get sober, things are getting worse she’s more reliant on drinks, she’s making up more and more excuses (it’s ok to drink and drive if u ate, workaholics ect) and isn’t doing anything to help hers self or even suggest she wants to recover. Originally I thought with addiction it was get sober or it will kill you eventually so u need to help urself and stop (atleast that’s what people always told me so idk why it applies to me and not mum) but clearly not, this seems like she will be an alcoholic all her life and it’s just getting tiring as I do love her but drunk her chips away at our relationship more and more
