Today, my mom showed up completely hammered to a party I was throwing. The party was to celebrate the ten years that I've been sober. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. FML
Today, my mom left the house in the morning, leaving me alone. I called and I got no answer. Hours later, she finally answers one of my calls and tells me that she'd been in an AA meeting all this time. Happy, I tell her to come home. She came home drunk. FML
Today, I had to go pick up my mother at 3 in the morning. She had been out drinking and couldn't drive. She parties more than I do. FML
Today, I got yelled at by my mom for not being surprised enough at my surprise birthday party. She'd told me about it while drunk the night before. FML
Today, I caught my mom trying to get secretly smashed out of her brain-box on booze at 8:00 a.m. FML
Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, I had a show with my drama group. My mom isn't a good drunk, she decided to scream along to every song and pass out halfway through. She was in the front row. FML
Today, I celebrated my friend's 5-month sobriety milestone with her by getting absolutely wasted. FML
Today, I was having my birthday party. My dad showed up late, blind drunk, and drove his car straight through my garage door. FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never had alcohol. Can't see the appeal of losing control. Sucks to you, OP, that your mother chose to ruin your celebration. Perhaps she is a contributing factor to your previous state. Honestly, in situations like this I have only one real solution: Move. Move far away. As far away as you can afford. Hell, sometimes it's only a few hours or the next state over that takes it. Move up to Wichita. It has the lowest CoL in the country, and it's probably too far for your mom to bother you.

You're old enough to be sober for ten years she is old enough to drink. You're old enough to handle it maturely as well. It's FML. Go to class. Be an adult. Harsh. Idc.

Sometimes the best way can do is live by example and show others there's another way to live. Sorry to hear about your mom, but congrats on your 10 years, that's huge.
