what was said to the sober dad when he called and asked after me
"I've been crying since I woke up, J. called me twice to apologize for his relapse, I got in a screaming match with J.'s sponsor after he told me I should 'forget [I] ever met J.' with a smirk, my therapist thinks I should check myself into a hospital for a few days, I can't eat without throwing up, and Pandora keeps playing super depressing songs even when I check the 'I don't like this song' button."

1. Turn off Pandora.
2. Don't answer when J. calls until you have had a little bit of time.
3. Try, somehow, to remember that J's sponsor's priority is J's sobriety, and not your feelings.
4. Be gentle with yourself. Your feelings are 100% valid, no matter what they are or how ridiculous they seem, or whether or not they are even factual. This is Big Stuff you are going through. Be gentle. Stay surrounded by those who care for you. Take your time and don't try to be a hero for anyone but yourself.
I will be thinking about you.
