My son is an addict and when we stopped enabling him and he realized that I was no longer on "his side" the message was pretty clear. We finally kicked him out and that is when he said he needed help. These things are all so hard but I was miserable and my husband and I were on constant pins and needles. I reflect back how hard it all was and it pretty much sucked (pardon my language) every day! It was hard for me to pretend to be happy - even while on vacation. I knew I needed to start taking care of myself because I wasn't having fun!
Now I go to my meetings, read my daily verse, went back to church and started to enjoy time with my husband. My AS is out of rehab and now we adjust again but I WON'T let him drag me so far down again, should he make the decision. Our lives are short! I want to live....and have fun!
YOU have done the right thing - here is a big hug and please take good care of you! Kel
