Hi,
I hope that things are calm-ish tonight for all of us.
Bump – i hope that your son stays home tonight and that you and your husband can have a break from the drama.
Jenny – I’m sorry that your son had a brush with the police but he does sound like he’s starting to see the light.
Lindyloo, things sound really good with your son. It’s still scary though, I wonder if that ever goes away.
My son is about 81 days clean from heroin and he and I went away for a few days (we are not in lockdown). It was really nice and we just walked and talked and ate takeaway. This time last year we were barely in contact. He lived miles away and I had a nagging fear that he was using again. I went looking for him, and found him living in squalor and he just told me to leave. It was such a horrible time, and took months to get to see him again. The fear of going back there never goes away but I think that he can see a future for himself now. He has had loads of false starts, it’s hard to deal with, that relapse and doing stupid things is all part of recovery. Tonight I’m opening the Prosecco and chocolate and trying not to think about it.
Thanks again for being there, I really hope that things are okay xxx
