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.
Just when I thought my son was doing ok again here he goes again. Sure he feels bad as the other many times prior. I have gotten involved with so many people and attended many other meetings. But why do I allow his addiction consume my life. I can not get a grip on this thing call tough love and take care of me. Any words I can sure use.
It takes time to learn and practice the term " Let go Let God " Every time a crisis happens and I take one action different from other times is one click closer to achieving my goal. Just one little change from the last time helps me so so much. Over this last year with Al-anon I have come a long way and I know it...I can feel it. Less worry, less anxiety and more courage. It's a one day at a time program and practice not perfection is the key.
You are not alone and will not be the last mom that has a problem with letting go. Many years to get you where your at now so I'm sure it will take many years to make a change.
We love you Gaby and we are here for you. Never try and do this alone....that is not the Al-anon way.
((( hugs )))

I'm right there with you Gaby. Some days are better than others. Tonight is not a good night. I too am consumed about my son's addiction. He just got out of rehab less that six weeks ago and I know he has had a few slips drinking and I am consumed with worry that it will progress though I know through Alanon he has to do it on his own. Got to somehow let go and let God.
