The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
As some of you here and others have reminded me "Why are you taking on this search and not him". I knew full well I needed to keep backing off and let him be responsible for what comes next. You know when that mom thing kicks in your heart takes over your brain. LOL So I backed off and lo and behold he took care of his own things. Go figure.
He has been in detox for a week and will start rehab in Fayetteville for a month then the VA is sending him to Oregon for up to as much as 18 months.
He will be home this weekend to take care of some legal matters and give his daughter her christmas present. I have already told him if he messes up this weekend I am finished. I still love him and he is still my son but other than that if he messes up I'm finished.
So....for now things are lined out and with the help of my higher power and my sponsor we will survive the weekend.
Thank you all so very much for your ESH in this, I always know where I can come if I need it and even when I don't.

Is he going to White City? I have heard some great things about it. My father in law is actually there and ended up getting a job and staying right in that area.
I am so glad for your A and you.
love,debilyn

I'm glad everything sorted itself out. Of course he is just beginning his journey. I trust you will find peace, love and understanding this holiday without the threat of constant crisis to interfere with it.
