The thing is, if he is relapsing you will find it yourself in due time. As you said, you need a few months to get your ducks in a row. I am sort of doing the same thing right now as I financially just cannot separate this second. I do know it will happen and am preparing things for just that. What point is there in even addressing it right this second?

It is great that son opened up to you and that you are such a good Mom. Communication is key. If I remember correctly, he does not drive your children, is that correct? If not then of course that will have to change.

I am sorry you are going through this. We will walk it with you, you are not alone. Keep on working on you and doing the great job you are doing. Remember those three C's and keep marching forward!

Hugs!
Noooo... AH absolutely is NOT driving our sons ANYWHERE at anytime, drinking or not drinking. It seems AH has forgotten some of that and thinks when he gets his license back he will be good to go driving our boys to and from practice again. Whoa horsey..that aint happening! I told him on the 31st no driving our kids anywhere until he can be sober for a good solid year and is working a program. Its not a year and he hasnt attempted to find help yet. Yeah, just wait until he tries that!
