It truely amazes me how there is no escaping addiction. Everyone connected to my A hubby is some sort of addict. Today, going to take care of me, I hit a detor. My hubby was at the lumber yard getting supplies to repair our fence. His little brother called him and asked to come over. His little brother is and addict. He never calls for our help. So I took the call seriously. To save my husband time running around town, I went pick up brother in law. I walked into the home he was at and he was sitting on the sofa reading Proverbs. I could tell he was so broken. I sat down with him and finished reading it to him. I suggested he grab a few changes of clothes and stay with us and go to church tomorrow. The minute we were in the car, he broke down. He told me that he always wanted to grow up and be somebody: a policeman, fireman, or something. He never thought he'd grow up and be a dope head. My heart broke for him. He is much more open than my husband. I called my uncle. My uncle has many connections to christian rehabs. It looks like my brother in law will be leaving on Monday to go to a rehab facility in Florida. I hope all works well.
I am asking for prayers. It's hard enough being in the house with one addict more or less two. We'll make it.
OH...i did focus on me today..i got a pedicure, bought a purse, shoes and capri pants. WHOO HOO. I'm trying.
Sincerely, So glad for your brother-in-law. Hope he gets the help he needs at this christian facility. Just keep up the good work and take care of you, like you said living with one addict is hard enough, much less two. So remember to read your literature, get to meetings, say the Serenity Prayer and journaling is good to.
Just a few suggestions, take what you like and leave the rest.

Thanks everyone! I'm doing so so today. I got a little frustrated because A hubby wanted to take his sweet time to get to chruch and then tried napping in church. A Mom was at church too along with her A friend and my little A brother in law. I got a flawless report card.......all A's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow! I would go shopping, but I spent too much yesterday on that. Right now I'm gonna nap.
