He left rehab..


Found out today that the A left the rehab a couple of days ago.  His mom was fuzzy on the details as to why, etc.  I just got this strange text from him tonight that said "Got any advice for a new local?"  I was picking up my child from his mom's after my church class and showed it to her.  She said maybe because he found a place to live?  I said oh, huh.  She said he moves in at the end of week.  I said is he still in treatment.  She said no.  I said oh, thought it would end Thursday- 28 days.  She just said hmmm...think he's been out a couple of days- staying in a hotel.  Anyway, I sent him a text back asking him to explain the one he sent me.  He said explain what.  I said "Maybe you didn't mean to send me the new local text."  He said he didn't.  My mind went in a hundred directions.  The distance in our communication- the lack of calls, his leaving treatment early, the hotel room, etc.  I wanted to ask him if he was okay.  I wanted to ask his mom for details, call his sister-in-law, but today I am going to mind my own business and release him to his Higher Power who loves him certainly more and better than me(even though my obsessive mind can't conceive that any one loves him more than me).  Today I love him, respect him and his choices, and let him go with prayers.  God grant me peace and strength.

Yeah it all doesn't matter when it comes to you staying in your serenity.  Good
work Code.  You're powerless over all of that outside of yourself.  Go lay down
in the palms of your HP and relax.   ((((hugs))))) smile

I hope to be where you are someday. I am hoping to be able to "let go and let God."
I know how hard that was for you to just let him be. Remember, we understand.

As hard as it is, Jerry said it best.......he is right on as usual....maybe one day he will get sober and maybe he woln't....he can only do this if he wants to....

You my dear friend, can find serenity within yourself....you can learn to just accept it is what it is.........

peace,
Andrea
