Thank HP...I went to a meeting last night. It was on the 3rd step. There were alot of parents in that meeting and alot of stuff I needed to hear. I am pretty much able to detach this morning. Only by the Grace of HP and the Alanon program. I am kinda looking at it as a chance to let him suffer consequences and get a little closer to his bottom.
Of course...I want nothing more than to run to him and rescue him. He will probably get released this morning as it was nothing very serious. He has not called me but I found out from someone else. They told me it was a drunken disorderly. Who knows if that person was being truthful or not.
At the meeting last night a woman who has been in program for 12 years...has 2 addicted children said some things that penetrated my brain. How ironic that this was my fist meeting at this place. She talked about how she was able to "let go and let God"...a little at a time. She bailed A daughter out the first time. She let her spend the night before she bailed her the 2nd time. This has gone on and on until finally she said "I put her in there the last time" She was able to laugh and it gave me alot of hope. I am thanking HP that I am able to start detaching without going through years of saving. I think that is why HE sent me to that meeting last night.
