I didn't think it would happen, I have little faith, but he's still there. The last time he didn't last 24 hours. When he checked in, he saw his chart and the date. It said 8/14. He cried and said it made him realize if he would've stayed he might be home now, for Christmas. However, his options are limited on the outside, and I feel as if this was the last resort, but at least he's there. We've talked a few times, and although I was mad at myself for a while for even continuing to deal with his crap, I have decided that it is OK to help a sick friend. He cries alot, I cry alot. He's scared. I'm scared. I have not stopped my life, but I took a little time to drop off some incidentals for him today. It made me feel better to not be angry at myself or him. Maybe it's the Christmas spirit, maybe it's something else. Today, Christmas Eve, four years ago we were engaged. He got on his knee in front of my whole family and proposed. And here I am today. It has been a long hard road. But maybe this is the best Chrsitmas present. Recovery, not his, mine.

Kim,
A belated Merry Christmas. I am very proud of you. Both of you have to concentrate on your recoveries. It's why my A and I are living apart. We both have some growing to do. He is now 6 months sober, and I'm very proud of him. I wish the same for you and yours.
Live strong,
Karilynn
