Well our home has remained calm, my son has stuck to the boundaries, and doctors orders re his alcohol intake....thats a first. Tomorrow his father is driving him the 100 miles to the detox unit. He wanted to get the bus but his consultant advised against it as he is to have minimal alcohol in the morning and she doesnt want to risk the chance of him having a withdrawal seizure. Its all pretty hellish really and Ill be glad when he leaves and gets the medical care he needs. Ive so had it with drink.....I hope he has. He knows death is sitting on his shoulder and any one of his seizures could be his last, so I hope he finds the courage to change.
I feel like a duck, serene on the surface but paddling like hell underneath. My aching shoulder and niggling sore head tell me Im knotted with tension. The resulting displacement activity since hes been home have given me this unrecognisable house with tidy cupboards, shining windows, up to date office work and a well tended garden......I started on the bookshelves yesterday but had to have a serious word with myself when I started musing about alphabetical order......bit of insanity creeping back!
Im knackered, and feeling incredibly sad.....but so grateful for the tools of the programme
Tomorrow I will take care of me.....I have a massage booked to unravel the knots!
It's funny when I read your description of yourself how it brings the memories of stress, anxiousness, and frustration can just come rushing back. I so hope that things go well for you. Enjoy your massage and remember that your son is now safe and getting the cares that he so desperately needs. I'll keep you in my prayers and pray for recovery for him and your family. Peace.
When the world said give up, hope whispered, try one more time....
What's wrong with organized bookshelves? I admit, I haven't done my spice cabinet yet, but hey it's always a possibility!
As always prayers are coming your way for you & your family. Take a break from organzing & enjoy the serenity. The time my beloved Tim was in rehab were the most serene days I had. I was scared for him & us. At least home was peaceful and I knew he was safe. Do something extra special for yourself. Just for you. Just because. We have to take care of ourselves. If that means staying in our jammies all day & eating ice cream. Go for it. We just need those days. It's good for us.
Your son is in the right place, in the hands of professionals. He's safe. I hope his recovery will stick. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
