Tomorrow will be one week since my A Hubby came home from his brief 4 day rehab stay. I must admit, I have been impressed with my A Hubby's renewed strength. Years ago, I always said that I was prepared if he slipped. After big sober for 3 years he slipped. It has been a long hard miserable crazy 5 year slip.
Today, I am a much stronger person that I was 5 years ago. I've only been in alanon since July of last year and I am so happy to be here. I actually had 7 days, one week, with out being weak. That is awsome!
Progress not perfection. Your post made me think about what my AHsober has been doing for 4-5 years. He's been sober for a long, long, time. However, he leaves. Leaves=slips. This is his longest. Don't know if he will come back. Hope to be as strong as you.
Serenity == you were never weak , overwhelmed , confused and vulnerable yes , weak never - we go thru this Stone cold sober , Weak I really don't think so . *hugs*
Abbyal's got a good point. Weak to me means sick physically. I was pretty weak last week (no pun intended) when I had a nasty cold. Like a maple tree, some times the "sap" runs thin. Sometimes we tap into it in the wrong place. (I live in Maple Syrup country.) So we have to keep tapping into it to find the strength we need. We have to be patient that it will come back to us. You're doing just fine. Just keep working that program and your "sap" will run again. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Today My Boy comes home after a week with the school, and I have been chomp'n at the bits to lay my eyes on him... I think I drove my hubby nuts this week, but I found my inner strength to keep it going... He is my only so my own attachment is the problem... He was good to go all week.. Didn't need mom...lol... Little did he know that I was calling the parents on the cell phone to just check that he was OK :) Had to miss the brat :)
So I was weak for a while this week...lol... But HP gave me the strength to carry on.. As always.. The weather outside currently "Stinks" it is rainy and dreary, but I don't think you could bring me off my "Happy Cloud" if ya wanted to :)
