Unmanageability/Powerlessness

It means when I have everything to loose that's good in my life and nothing good to gain from it, yet I keep doing it.  I promise myself and everyone else, on my kids lives, that I won't do it again, and pow.... there I go again.

It is when I find myself locked up AGAIN the second time, after I promised and swore I'd never ever get in that predicument again, and here I sit, can't get out, can't see my family, my children are in the system, I'm at the mercy of the Judge, and there's not a thing I can do about it after I manage to get locked up again.

It's when my adult children hang up the phone because they don't want to deal with a messed up parent anymore. I try to not use around them, but end up messing that up too.

It's when I start inflicting self harm again because I can't stand the person I've become.  Suicide becomes an option that looks appealing.

Those are a few....
