Maintaining MY serenity...:)
 
Hi everyone,
Just a little check in.

33 year old AS, still incarcerated in "Cupcake Camp: prison in Florida. From what I hear, his release date is around June of 2013.....but he will be on a work release program this Spring. It's a good thing.

And 38 yr. old AS, seems to have perhaps relapsed, not sure, but you know that ecky feeling? I have it, plus he ended up arguing on the phone with me this week, and swearing, and carrying on, until I hung up on him.

He is living with a known Heroin addict friend of his, whose Grandmom pays his rent.
I anticipate a return trip to prison, or his demise....

Does it never end?

Hugs and hugs........

(((Moose))) - sorry you're still going through this:( There are times I want to say "okay, I'm WORKING my recovery, can you give me a break?!" when everyone around me is slipping and sliding.

If that that doesn't kill us makes us stronger, you should certainly be solid steel (with a heart of gold).

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I'm sorry, Moose, and as much as we know the likely outcome it still gives us a kick in the gut when we know they are back at it.

Both your boys remain in my prayers, and their mama too...that would be you!! :)

Big hugs and lotsa love.
