He's drinking already!
Permalink  

Two days out of the hospital and my son is already drinking.   This time it hurts.  I'm hurt.  He is so depressed and hurting so much I'm afraid he is not going to make it.  My "what ifs " kicked in big time.  I'm scared and fear for his life right now. 

I am trying to let it pass but I had to write something to MIP.  I called a Al-anon friend, I'm reading, I'm praying and saying the Serenity Prayer over and over but it's not doing any good. I'm going a meeting tonight to talk. I called my counselor.  :(

It's like I'm inside his head and wanting to die.  Don't want this to go on any longer.   He told me he doesn't want to live like this anymore. I asked if he was sucidal...he said no. 

This to shall pass..... Cathy let go let God

" Serene Mom "  NOT

(((hugs))) I know how hard this can be.  I hear you.  Just get to a meeting, talk to your sponsor, write here on the board and keep praying.  These are the very best things you can do right now.

John

Well I spent the evening with people that know what I'm going through. Good meeting great people. It was not the best day for me but I was more aware of what I was doing and able to control my actions a whole lot better than in the past.

Practice, practice, practice.....

Thank you so much for the support guys!!!

(((( hugs ))))
