Hi all,
I’ve been thinking of you all here often.
68862 – I’m so sorry to hear that your son’s addiction is upsetting the family. It’s so frustrating when you know they could turn their lives around and everyone could just lead normal lives.
Addiction is evil, it just seems to rip the heart out of families. I wish I knew what to say to make things better for you. Hopefully he’s had a fright and will knuckle down and fight this fight. Your lovely grandchildren will be a welcome distraction at this time for you.
Debc – I’m also sorry to hear that your son has relapsed. It’s really frustrating, you kinda get lured into a false sense of security when they’re in recovery, but at the same time, you feel you can never really relax. At least you have work and your grandchild.
I’m glad he’s doing meetings, my son almost relapsed again, feeling sorry for himself, why do I need to do this, or that? Why can’t I do this etc. A CA fellowship guy spoke to him and told him to stop feeling sorry for himself. He hadn’t been to a meeting for a few days and was weakening. I’m sure he’ll get back on the saddle again. As I said to 68862 it’s a battle they fight with addiction every moment of the day, and particularly at weekends. We can only love them, as Kate said, addiction and all.
Stay strong, thinking and praying for us all here.
Lx ❤
