Am I really as good of a caregiver/friend that I thought I was...

I can't fix things anymore. I can't help the people who I love that have strong addictions to alcohol. I don't know how. I have tried all that I can think of, and in the end, I just end up feeling like a failure. In the end, I end up feeling worthless

You are a caregiver, and even though you feel as if you aren't doing enough, you are. Just by being around you are doing so much. If you still feel the need/compulsion to do SOMETHING, try volunteering? I dunno. You're doing me a world of good just by being you, and showing me that you got through the toughest thing ever and are fine. It gives me hope that if it comes to that, I can do it too.

If you really want to help, just come home after work and save me from the rest of the fam. Besides, Rival always wants to play.
