My goal is to have her get well and for me to have some peace in my life.
I have had to adjust this goal as I understand and learn more about addiction. My goal is to have some peace in my life, whether my son gets well or not.
In order for me to accomplish this goal, I have had to let go. It doesn't change the fact that my deepest desire is for my son to stop using drugs and drinking but my happiness and serenity can't depend upon it.
