I FIGURED OUT WHAT IS WRONG
Permalink  

WOW it finally came to me today during meditation....It hit me like a bolt of lightning...the tears I have been shedding are not grief,sorrow, fear, etc...they are because I am on my frist step......I admit I am powerless over my son's addiction and that MY life had become unmanagable......when he entered the detox centre last night and as I drove away I did not leave my son there not knowing what is going to happen or even could happen....I did not leave him because I had given up on him....I did not leave him because I don't love him......I left him there because i do love him....I left him there because ...

I AM POWERLESS OVER HIS ADDICTION AND MY LIFE HAS BECOME UNMANAGEABLE

I can no longer control, his actions like I could when he was little...his thinking is his own...his healing is his own and my healing is my own....

What a feeling when I realized I am truely working on my firat step....

Praise to my HP

Blessings
Brenda

Congratulations Brenda,

First step is the most important, took me some time to get it, forget it and get it again.

Its like an awakening isnt it, its so easy, yet so difficult.

Glad your here, keep coming back.

Luv, Bettina

Yes, Brenda, I get it. Last night I read all the pages in Courage to Change in regards to the First Step, then held the book as I fell asleep in hopes that just by being there I could get some extra strength.

The first step is not an easy place to be, but can be so liberating. Being responsible for just me? What a concept....

Thanks for sharing,

Lou
