It took me a while, when I was locked up, to face the reality of my addiction. It sounds stupid, since I was in a lovely orange jumpsuit, behind bars, and had no freedom, but it really didn't sink in at first. I actually knew it was all due to my addiction, but my initial thoughts were just to not get caught again.

It didn't take that long, though, before I realized I really, really don't like jail and I was going to have to make some major changes in my life in order to not go back behind bars.

I know how much you want him to "get it" this time. Just remember, though...we A's don't "get it" until we're ready, just as we codie's don't "get it" until we're ready. Since I'm an A AND a codie, I've found out it's a lot of work in both recoveries, but it's harder (to me) to detach from someone I love.

I'm glad you're okay today, and he's safe.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
