I think its good news, things can go either way with him. But I believe this choice and his desire to succeed is a good one. He also expressed last night that he feels good now with no desire to drink or use (Its always starts with a drink) but he realizes is he just takes the time and got out, he could feel differently so he wanted the restriction of being unable to use. His PD told me it is usually just random UAs but my husband asked to initialy get them weekly at random so he didnt get the idea he could beat it. and a correction its moral reconition therapy... Also he missed his son's first day of Kindergarden but will get to go to openhouse...(something he was usually to intoxicated to attend with the other boys) cindi, i'm so happy things seem to be looking brighter for you and him. he has made some hard choices but i think its great that he's ready to be made accountable for his actions. its been a long time coming,HUH?

Cindi - sounds like it's a positive choice for him - praying he is able to embrace the opportunity and use it to accomplish good things for himself and for your family!! Trina - I'll be here tomorrow - on a holiday week - I have to go back to an eight hr day schedule - which is gross!! My atty is working on an agreement with my ex - I have to bring back some of the stuff to the house and my ex says he will sign the written order dropping the spousal support and waive all rights to my retirement. we are working thru what I bring back - ex is actually asking for me to bring back stuff that is STILL IN THE HOUSE - (how crazy????) So my atty says he will also put in the order that my ex has to leave me alone - no phone calls, texts, etc. - if not there will be a $2,000 fine and 30 days in jail!!!!! Looks like there may soon be an end to all of this - Also atty will check on status of divorce - judges ofc seems to have lost several - maybe with in the next few weeks - it can all be over. Please keep the prayers coming - thanks!!!!!

I wanted to mention as I sat for 2 hours through court this morning I heard a lot of things. Ive sat through lots of these, for AH, XAH , work and traffic misdemenors for myself. NEVER before have I heard so many battery and domestic violence charges...but worse than that 55% of them were an adult child hitting the parent they still resided with and all were either intoxicated or found with drugs or paraphanalia. Worse, out of say 5 of them 2 of the parents asked that the charges be withdrawn. In addition there were atleast 5 women, beautiful women(even in orange with no makeup) not standard streetwalkers, charged with prostitution and exposure. Its all really sad

Welcome KC to our group!! You are in the right place and thank you for sharing with us. Whenever I'm lonely or feeling down I come here and vent and I feel better. Cindi- that is great news about Dan. I hope this will be the turn around he wants...only he and his HP have the power to use it for good. Rita- well this is at least a little bit of positive news for you too. I'll continue to keep you in prayer that the divorce can finalize soon and that your exAH will stop harassing you. Trina- that is great that you are able to bring the girls to their different activities. I really want to get the boys into soccer this year, not sure if I can swing the money but if its not soccer we'll try something else. I spent half the day yesterday on the phone with Jakes insurance company getting id numbers. they don't cover his meds but the doc can call in a pre-authorization so we can get it filled. The insurance plan does cover child therapy and occupational therapy. So I have a request for the PCP to put in these referrals as well. Jake starts his first play therapy session on Monday afternoon. I'm hoping that it will help him and he'll start to feel more confident about himself soon. I just keep encouraging him and letting him know that no one in his class is perfect and each of us has our own special gifts. I had a good F/F meeting last night talking about resentments. Lots of good shares. Hope everyone has a good afternoon.

My husbands public defender just called me. I thought that was nice. He wanted to make sure I understood everything that he was gonna be required to do. Also wanted to assure me one failed UA and he'd be in jail within 24 hours so no need for me to worry (haha easy for him to say) [PD knew I was planning on having him removed from residence if not seeking treatment] and explained the moral reconition therapy and said its real intense but Dan expressed that he really thought he needed that and to have to complete the sections, and felt that it would help him.(Wow, my husband expressing to another individual that something will help him) He also said had I not called him and expressed the true situation that he would not have received any of this. Thanks Lies for encouraging me to call

Thanks. I HOPE he knows it.... Im trying to ignore the typical non recovery behaviors from our calls, trying to remember he's just sober and planning to stay that way at this time, the rest will take time before it comes. I hate being patient and I hate working on me

Saturday night - Hubby and I invited down to the beach with friends this weekend. I have to say, this is one "friend" that I can probably count on if I ever had to, but she and I don't do anything on a regular basis. It's a wierd relationship. She doesn't work and I do so there is not a lot in common there. When I get home at night, I want to crash (and in the past drink). She has dinner ready for her family and likes to watch movies. But I do consider her a friend. A few of my other "friends" and I are getting together for dinner next Friday night to celebrate my new promotion at work. I just got a huge promotion two weeks ago. Some day I will tell the story about why my husband won't socialize with these "friends" and their husbands, but he won't. This was supposed to be a "couples" night out -- the 4 couples going out to dinner, but he refuses to go. I e-mailed the gals and said my husband "just does not want to do this." So the gals are going alone. Like I said, these are "friends" but I do not see or speak to them for months, sometimes years at a time. They come out of the woodwork when an event happens, like my promotion, but they disappear other times. Oh well. I am just stealing a few minutes away from the rest of the gang here. Everyone is checking e-mails and things so I thought I would pop on here for now. Thanks! KC |

hey you guys, just checking in. we had kind of a friends & family day today. i got the chance to get out with all but 1 of my 6 kids, 2 sils, 1 dil,8 grandkids, sis and my mom . every yr, little league football have this big opening day festival, parade and all. i have 2 grandsons(6 & 7) playing football and 2 cheerleaders(4 & 5). they were all so cute running around the football field and marching in the parade. in the past, i would find myself so caught up in someone else's addiction to even have the mind to enjoy the simple things. just feeling kind of grateful today. hope you all had a pleasant day and pray that tomorrow will be even better.

Good Morning all praying each of you have a wonderful Monday - As most of you all know - (because I feel like I'm whining about it all the time - sorry guys) I do go to court this morning at 10:00 am on this my ex's request for spousal support and other issues. My atty thinks we can make a deal with him - I think my ex will never be satisfied. He will keep asking for more - Cause an active addict in addiction always wants MORE - no matter what it is. Well - we will see - I pray that each of you feel the love and warmth of your HP through out your day - giving you comfort, peace and love!!!!! HUGS, Rita

Morning. Lynzee, my 2 oldest kids like school lunch. My youngest takes peanut butter and bread, or crackers, cheese and either cut up bologne, ham or peperoni. They all like the goguarts, fruit roll ups and fruit, sometimes little cans of tuna with crackers. Instead of sandwich sometimes have tortilla with lunchmeat and ranch dressing. Rita, eventually the legal part will be completely over. I shared on FB about a friend whose drunk ex would show up and cry to her new husband for over 10 years, heard those stories at alanon too. My neighbor's ex-,divorced over 40 years ago due to pot, alcohol and abuse, called her last month, he's sick, getting surgery and wanted to stay with her to be taken care of a few months... Of course she laughed and hung up the phone

Thanks for the great lunch ideas!! RITA- I'm praying for you, girl! Happy Monday everyone....BIG HUGS!! I had a nice lazy weekend! Spent the day with RAH yesterday, he boiled crabs at our house for me and the girls, which were YUMMY!! Took a nap on MY couch and then had to leave to do laundry. It was nice and rainy pretty much all weekend...great time for naps, LOL. Tonight my oldest starts her dancing class for this school year and youngest has soccer pratice....so I'm starting the running running running....if only driving my car would be exercise and would help me loose that bit of weight I want to loose!! Oh, well, guess I can't have everything. By the way, RAH, had a "drug evaluation" this morning from his DUI (back in Sept/07) and he passed with flying colors, he also has to attend a MADD meeting once a month for a year and see a probation office one a month for a year (and random drug screens). So he seems to be doing well, he said it is so difficult to go the the MADD meetings....guess that is why they are made to go to them...IT WORKS!! Hope you all have a drama free week!! Love to each of you..... Trina |

Thanks Lynzee drama free week would be great. RAH goes to court on the 17th for DWSL and VOP of probation. So we'll see what they offer him. I'm hoping he doesn't get 10 days because that means kaleb has to go to SIL and right now he doesn't like to go anywhere unless mommy or daddy is there. Today is Jakes therapy appointment... he is looking forward to it. I had a good weekend with my Dad on Saturday and yesterday was just busy busy with chores. Our new kitty Madeira is doing great. The kids just love her. Rita... congrats on your divorce... I missed that on Friday. Hope today went well. KC hope you made it out with your friends. Congrats on your promotion at work. Cindi... when does AH get out? Will he be going to your house? Glad he has counseling and random UA's. I hope this reaches him. My AH is still in a funk..he is on edge and still annoying me. Sometimes he has a moment of clarity then it seems to drift away. Hope each of you has a great day!
