...hit the fan, things sometimes do catch you off guard.

I've posted here that I was pretty sure son was abusing his pain pills. He's had knee surgery, so that was his "excuse". I still feel I was (or am) correct.

I've not heard from him on over a week, which didn't surprise me one bit since he owes me money from the bank fiasco a week or so ago.

Tonight he called. Hasn't talked to me in a while and heard I was troubled with work stuff. He wanted to see how things were going. Mentioned that for the first time in what seems like forever he has a positive bank balance going into check day (tomorrow). A mere $10 left, but better than the (-) thats he's been having!

He's trying to get his "priorities" in order financially because a guy he knows is having trouble with bills and is looking for a roomie to help out for a while. I know AS would love to break off on his own, so he's trying to make that happen.

I could tell he had not taken "his pills".. He was clear and caring and sensible.

That means nothing, other than I know its in there. I always did and do, but gee it sure feels good to hear it. He's capable...if its meant to be.

Tonight I feel OK about things.

(((Hugs)))

Enjoy those times when you see "your son" Each precious moment is wonderful. We can't control it, can't predict what will happen, that's why I think today is such a gift. Hugs

Does this mean you have stepped away from fear, doubt and worry?
Enjoy this bit of serenity and remember how it feels.

I used to spend way more time in my son's bad moments than he ever did. I'd still be worrying about "his" problem and he'd call and say "oh, I sorted that out two days ago".

Grrrrr, how dare they go an find a healthy way to deal with things when we mama's are wringing our hands.

I'm happy for you, Cece, and for him. Good days are good days and it's a darn shame to miss them when we are focused on the bad ones. I try not to do that anymore.

Hugs

Boy, was that ever me. And it can be today if I don't practice my recovery.

I'm glad you can see to stay in the day and enjoy it, cece. God offers little surprises everyday, but so many times I miss them. I'm glad you saw yours yesterday.

Hugs,

I too love when I can exhale.
Although I am doing so much better in my recovery, walking on the eggshells when you "think" something wrong is going on, just sucks.
I'm glad you're feeling good about things now and I hope it continues for a long time.
