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.
I will miss coming here and being with those that understand the pain of addiction in the people we love.
I need to be with my husband and my youngest son (age 17 with Autism).
I have put boundries up with my AS (age 30) that I have never done before, he may have to live on the streets before he hits his bottom, or it maybe worse than that. I am praying and praying somemore.
My AS called this morning wanting a car and money, I refused, but I was a mess after he called. I feel like he is in a very swift running river and I have be running along the bank calling out to him and reaching my hand out, but he won't take it. Now I have stopped running, and if he gets out of the river it is up to him.
I hope I can find peace with my decision not to enable him anymore.
Dreams, I am sending all my thoughts and wishes for peace your way. I am so new to al-anon that I do not feel suited to give any thoughts other than to say that I will be praying for you. Many hugs - you have an army of support here. Best, Robin
(((Dreams))) The A in my life is my husband so, although I know what it's like to try to deal with alcoholism and the many ways it can erode your life, I DON"T know what it would be like to have to deal with it in one of my children. I can't even imagine the pain and heart-ache you must be experiencing. I am so sorry that you are going through this, but it sounds like you are on the right track. I have no words of wisdom, I'm new here, myself, and still trying to take in all that I am learning. But I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and praying that you find the serenity that you deserve and that we all so desperately seek.
love to you-

I can't imagine how heartbreaking this must be. I am sorry you are going through this. I am confident that you will see your way through this. We will always be here for you. It's okay to take a break from this. I have done it several times. Sometimes you just need a break. Don't be a stranger. Come back when you are ready. Sending you extra love & support to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
