I’ll have to check on AA meetings in my area. Beside my mom dying of cancer my dad is dying from cirrhosis of the liver so I guess it’s like father like son?!?! Thank you my friend for the kind words.
Oh dear, i'm so sorry to hear all of that 
That is heartbreaking. Good luck finding AA meetings in your area, if its not the time to do it then wait a while when you are emotionally ready for it, that what doctors say when coming off meds, to wait until the time is right. You have us for support too - all the way

I am returning to a consistent yoga practice again after all the phsycial therapy and chiropractic I've been involved with the past few months and was told not to do it. I will continue my daily dog walks which are leisurely and the once or twice a week walk with the walking group, weather permitting as I hate to be out in the cold....water intake is ok but needs to be increased, warm lemon water very first thing in the morning. Body brushing prior to shower, stimulates lymph system. I don't eat after 6pm and high protein with evening meal to balance blood sugar during the night.
My goals this year are to not fall back in my bad habits or eating. I will eat too little for extended periods and then eat too much for extended periods. This year, I want to eat for hunger, enjoy my meals, hit the gym but don’t push myself too much of it isn’t fun, qualify for the Boston marathon, feel healthy and feel confident in myself.
I will more than likely slow down on my baking, meal prep when i know my work schedule is too much, stay away from eating out, and if friends or family want to eat out I won’t stress it I’ll just go!!!

And No it does not have to be like father, like son. That chain really can be broken. And it's impossible for most to do it without some support. 12 step recovery has a lot going for it in understanding and ability to provide. There are some healthy people and groups in that setting. I'm sorry to hear about your dad's illness as well and hope he is staying as comfortable as he can be if it's severe and creating problems.
No - you are not a hypocrite, you're in the midst of addiction and addiction to anything can make our emotions and feelings even worse and more dire, you have the chance to beat this addiction, I think what ''they say'' is true, that you first must admit your addiction and move forward from there. In my life I have been addicted to a few different things, I know how hard it is so you won't be getting any criticism from me however if you need support SF is here for you whether you want to give up alcohol tomorrow or next month.
I really feel for you, addiction is brutal and even worse when mixed in and tied with depression and other mental ailments. I think you should start a thread in the substance abuse forum there, just for this issue, that is what I did starting December and now I'm a full month off the ciggies, go for it and never look back Support is our specialty
