...alcoholism,. How do i appoligize for my misbehaviors ? I felt abandoned and walked the street and no one rescued me. How do i now appologize for some misbehaviors while drunk? Although i may have slammed a couple coupboards while feling emotional i did not expect those family members to completely abandone me in my time of need. I was sick and now it feels that i have to sen myself a get well card and then appologize for being sick. Even the ants on the street pick up their wounded why not humans?

The ants on the street don't intentionally harm the other ants around them. They are all working for one cause, the betterment of the family. You did not. You were not "ill". You were and are addicted. You owe apologies because you hurt your family.**My oldest sister is an alcoholic. She is recovering now, has been sober for several years. But, while she was drinking she was abusive, hateful, and caused nothing but trouble. There came a point when we HAD to turn our backs on her because she was toxic. No one just turns away immediately. You brought this on yourself. Apologize, admit you did wrong. Or you will never truly recover. It's part of the 12 steps.

my mom was an alcoholist, and she, too was sick. Her side of the family ignored her, she didnt' apologize, she just knew that she was being punished and they wanted to teach her a lesson. A few weeks later, after checking out of rehab, they started talking to her again, because they were proud she got help. Maybe they want you to show them that you, too...can get help in order to avoid this sickness.
