And off he goes
Evening everyone,
Just a fast note to let you know AS returned to court today and he is off to prison. His sentence is 2 years mandatory. Whatever that means.
I am feeling great relief that he is gone, and wish he would have gone last week. There has been nothing but drama and chaos between him and his GF while he's been waiting to go.
His GF called me this afternoon and asked if she could come with me to attend Alanon meetings. I hope that while he is gone she gets some smarts and moves on. Please include her in your prayers.
Hugs and hugs...

I will say a prayer that the girlfriend does go to AlAnon with you and starts her own recovery.
Will also say a prayer for HP to watch over your son.
Love and hugs,
To Life!

I hear you and I know what you're feeling right now.
That sense of -- Whew! Relief!
Get a bit of a breather here for now.
Am I close?
Cuz that's how I felt when Trevor went the last time...
I wish you well.
You'll enjoy Moose Island this summer!
And I do pray that this young woman finds her way... :praying
Shalom!

I thought 2 years mandatory meant the judge had no sentencing discretion. Due to overcrowding, I believe he can still get out early however.
Regardless of all that, take care of yourself. I suggest if the GF wants alanon she seek it on her own at her own group and not try to horn in on your home group.

His HP is right there with him and so are our prayers.
GF sounds like a smart cookie and I am so glad she wants to go to Alanon because you and I both know that this may just save her life like it saved ours.
Hugs to you and g/f and that adorable baby who is blessed with so much love, even flowing down from Canada from his Auntie Ann.

(((Moose))) GF is blessed to have you as her guide. Hopefully, once she goes to Alanon with you, she'll then proceed to go on her own, learning to put her focus on her & that beautiful baby.
Lots of prayers & hugs for all of you.

Glad that you can now get some peace and quiet, other than those precious baby sounds
I see nothing wrong with taking her with you to your alanon meeting, to get her "feet wet" but encouraging her to find her own group.
Hugs and prayers!

In fact, I'll even babysit!

Hi Moose
Isn't it sad when we feel relief when they are gone! Damn, I remember feeling that way too. I even called the police when I heard he was heading back in town so I could head him off at the pass.
Two years mandatory means there will be no half time for him or credit for any good days.
You know how fast two years goes??
Once he is gone, and the chaos stops, the gf will have time to think clearly and will know what it's like to have peace and quiet.
Hugs and prayers for all of you.

Hey Moose:
Unfortunately, you know how fast time goes when you're having fun right?
What we all pray for is that in this two years he'll have time to think about what he has given up.

Moose,
Well, we kinda knew this was coming, so I'm glad the wait is over for you and AS. And I'd be feeling just like you ... relieved. We all know watching addiction up close and personal just takes its toll on us no matter how much recovery we have. So to have him removed from the scene can't help but make things better in some respect.
I'm grateful that the gf will have time to be away from the addiction, time for her to grow up and think about what she really wants in life. And I'm very grateful you have a relationship with her because you can be a mentor of sorts as well as a super duper grandma! She's a smart cookie if she's wanting to go to Al Anon. I do hope she will attend. You are just one wonderful woman to be sharing your recovery with this young gal.
I'll be praying for you, your AS and this sweet gf and that precious grandbaby.
Big hugs,
Hangin' In
