asking for a different sort of prayer here
Hello all my dear SoberRecovery friends:
I am asking that all of you offer prayers of gratitude and thanksgiving to our Higher Power on behalf of my son, thanking Him for putting people and circumstances in my AS's life that point him out of drugs and into recovery. I have heard some amazing stories from Recovering Addicts on how our Higher Power worked in their lives, and I know that is happening for my son even though I do not (and may never) know the details of his current situation.
My son recently spent a couple of weeks in jail and has a court date tomorrow AM for what I think is arraignment/trial because he is finally being held accountable by the legal system for his absolute refusal for years to pay traffic tickets, show up for court dates, owing the Secretary of State thousands of dollars, and yet continuing to drive without license, insurance, valid plates, etc. My son has not contacted me through any of this. I only know these things by third-party. So he is totally alone with his Higher Power and without his mom's face in the picture to somehow take his focus off the severity of this. But I know his Higher Power is very much involved here, and that is why I am so grateful and why I would appreciate your prayers of gratitude also.
Thank you so very much! God is good!

God cannot do His work when we mama's get in the way, even God doesn't like to mess with the mamas

It is amazing to watch good things unfold once we let go.
My gratitude prayers today will begin first and foremost a big "thank You for guiding sojourner's son".
I am happy for you and for your son too...with all the trouble he has to face, sobriety, his HP and the support of his group will see him through.
