I just got off the phone with my X's wife and she said they kept my son for 12 hours before releasing him. They also asked him to go to detox but he refused.
This makes me feel a little better ( WHAT?) he didn't leave in such a bad state even though he will go down pretty quickly unless he stabilizes his system with more alcohol.
Thank you all for the support......I have let go and I feel good about it even though worry and hurt is still there. It's there because I'm mom but I will be strong and have faith God will do what is right for him.
((( hugs )))
PS: It took a a while but with faith ( good stuff ) you can endure anything. Believe me I know....just read my posts a year ago. This in itself gives you peace. HP IS GOOD!!

I don't want to ruin anything for myself but to be honest I'm amazed at myself on how really calm I am. This homeless thing was always always a biggie in my book. I feared it so much I have but myself in the ER one time. I can't quit thinking about me and why I'm so calm when other things can bother me. I have truly excepted and came out of denial I think. WOW....sorry I have to let the world know

Cathy, I just replied to your other post but I think you sound great, strong and rational. So good and your son may be back on the path that his higher power needs him to be on. I am convinced that when they are cushioned in any way by anyone it prolongs the agony and takes them farther from sobriety. Having said that, I am not good at practicing what I preach but im getting better and so are you. We have came a long long way in a relatively short time, we need to keep going.x
Thanks all and PP I will enjoy the calm as long as I have it. It's one day at a time and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. I pray I will handle it with grace, understanding and love but continue to move forward no matter what happens. Don't get me wrong this can all blow up in my face a hour from now but I'm prepared the best I can with my tool box wide open and ready to go.
(((( hugs ))))

I know what you mean about a big fear happening and somehow you're calm. Cancer terrifies me and I just knew one day it would hit me or someone I loved. Well, it got my dad (he's okay now) and I had a big scare of my own about the same time. I handled it so well. Who knew? We are stronger than we think. You are not the same person who I remember showing up here last year and I know you will be okay no matter what. Look what you've already survived. I am praying for your family.
