Jail Time?

Ok gang, here it is.
As some of you know, I had served the wife with divorce papers and did not really hear much after that from her.

Well the call came in and it was a winner. She had asked about something in the papers on what she had to send in. Then she told me what had just happened to her.
Within one week, 2 DUI’s and with a controlled substance, and she totaled her car by running it into a building.

She said she was not asking for help, in fact she knows she is going to jail, she said not to worry about the papers, she wants nothing.
She knows she screwed up, and she said it.
She said I seem to be in order, under control, and have my life together.

I told her it was the program, and with out it I would have been lost.


I said “I only have a number for you, but you must call it yourself.”


She said she would, and I gave her a number of a woman who has been where she is now, a good AA sponsor.

So the story goes on.

(((( Mr. C. )))

Your recovery is shining. It's so difficult step back and allow our loved ones the dignity of experiencing the JOY of their own consequences... but that's truly the gift of our program.

We keep our side of the street clean, and we let others learn their own life lessons in their own time.

You've come a long way, Mr. C. It's been a priviledge to watch you on your journey.

HUGS

Hello,

Thank you for writing back. I must admit there are so many mixed emotions on all of this, but I feel ok.
She ended up calling me back last night, no big deal or anything important, in fact we really did not talk about this issue. It was more like knowing that there was just someone to talk to, she thanked me and said she was going to call my friend in the morning. She had spent some time with her son, and she said she was having trouble not crying at every word she spoke.

I don’t know if she will call her, none of the things she has done has been smart, so all I can really do is step back and let this play out.
Is this her bottom? I don’t know. I do know I can not see her in jail or handling anything like that. It is really a sobering thought for me,

A long path leads up to a brief moment that can alter you life forever.

Im proud of you hon....

Remember though, at this stage it would be really easy to get caught up in her and her issues.....

Make sure to keep that focus on you and your growth and dont get tangeled up again in her Chaos... you have fought toooooo hard to get where you are now.
