Hi Simylou
I totally understand what you mean.
My son is in recovery atm 60days so far. He’s attending daily online meetings, contacting sponsor and other members of the AA fellowship regularly.
Thank goodness for pubs closing here at 6pm. Its less of a temptation. My son says that the alcohol is a trigger for cocaine so he has to abstain from it completely. He can’t mix with his old friends, as he doesn’t have an off switch.
I think it’s all down to trust and faith and for them to be very strong, strong enough to not give in to temptation.
We have to have the trust in them too, it’s difficult I know. My son had a difficult week, I thought he was going to relapse again. I felt sick, git upset, cried , felt all anxious.
Its a horrible feeling.
Read some of the other threads, there will maybe be more advice for you.
I think when you’re around a person in recovery you’ll always be walking on eggshells as we’ve come to expect it.
We’ll just have to trust that they’ll make the right choices.
Take care
Always here to chat
