Yes, it does sound like your HP is working and you're seeing it, too! Glad your friend "just happened" to come on FB last night and asked you how you were doing. Love it. (((C))) Now, I can say it: "That was no accident."

Even in Mexico? I saw your HP working with this exchange between the two of you on fb. You must have seen your HP working overtime in another way? I must have misunderstood your words. Sorry that I missed your meaning. I'm just glad you are experiencing some peace and calm right now.

Today I'm excepting the things I can not change and working to change me..one day at a time. My recovery time is much faster so now if I can control my emotions during height of the crisis I will do so much better keeping my heart and mind calm. My fear last night became so bad I got physically sick. This is not good....I have no control the situation so why do this to myself. Because I'm not working the program right...that's why.
I'm taking the advice and also used ( if in doubt don't ) so I'm not going to get my son belongings. I let his father know. My son will know when he gets out.
I'm going to let go of this for now and work hard in the program on why, how and fixing what I have put myself though these last few days. I getting caught up...I know it...I can feel it. I won't go there!!
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support...I am truly blessed.
((( hugs )))
PS: I got a call from a good friend of mine big in AA and he is with the owner of Last Chance Intervention...a rehab. facility in Prescott, AZ. He were trying to find my son so they could do a 12 step intervention....but I told him my son must be in detox and can't be reached. Phone is turned off he said. I have faith its in God's hands and he has a plan for Will. I will know when he wants me to know.

Glad to hear! HP has this! Sounds easy but we know its not that easy to let go. Sometimes seems downright impossible!!! Keep keeping on! You are not alone!

No he knows my son very well. He has helped him before. I called him last night to talk. He's sort of my face to face person to talk to once in a while. Him and his wife are always there...both big in AA and Al-anon.

Oh. I was just ready to exclaim "Its a miracle. Its a miracle." Glad I asked before I exploded in my opinion. Smile. Glad you've got them to go to in times like these. You have gotten yourself a good support team. Makes me smile for you and for your son.

Just like trying to find a sponsor...I don't want to bother anyone. I don't call usually but I was on FB last night and my AA friend opened a chat and just said HI.....just got back from Mexico...how things going with **** my son. That got me talking to him...
Me thinks HP is working overtime. Wanted me to calm down a bit. ??

Cathy - have you considered changing? Maybe it's time to change your mind on that not calling or bothering people thing. We gals do reserve the right to change our minds ; ) Right?
No doubt you're worth it!!!!
It is a program of growth and trying to do new things instead of same ol thing and getting that same ol' result.
Today I was such a puddle I spent most of the day on the phone. My sponsor talked my ear off for a couple hours like she always does. My sponsee's and I had some chats. I called two other friends in the program. I am just trying really hard to keep it together with this moving business and my daughters tragedy. Today I took a day of rest and spent time with fellowship and recovery woman who are strong and such a great blessing to get to listen to and talk with.
I would have NEVER ever done this in the past! Didn't want to bother people - didn't feel worth it. I'm so glad I changed my mind!
Please reach out for some people on your phone list or ask someone to be a sponsor - take advantage of Alanon as a full 12 step program. You are worth it!
