Sue n fifi, both of you helped me get through some dark days…..addiction is a curse and anyone who is in the throws of it, is a slave to it….Friday night my son relapsed again….I had a feeling when he came to see me..call it mothers intuition…he rang Saturday and said yet again he had made a wrong choice…..I haven’t said anything….I know it’s one day and his relapses are getting more and more far apart, and I know it’s part of recovery, but I’m mad as hell…hense why I haven’t said snything..I read a poignant post from an ex addict on another group which resonated with me…my words just add to the addicts failure….so my mouth is tightly shut….I feel his disappointment, but I know he has it in him to change his life…if only he knew it too….so when he decides to talk about it. I shall recommend as always added support…..through the support given,I have learned to switch off,because I know when an addict has it in their mind to have one last go at their drug of choice. There’s nothing I can say to change his mind….recovery is a path of twists and turns…..ahhhh well, sending both of you a peaceful time, think of your own well being, because we cannot control anyone’s actions but our own..that’s a hard lesson for any mother…hugs xxxxx
