I am glad you are getting some peace and the anxiety level has lowered a bit for you. I hope you relax and enjoy some quiet time.
I know for me when I was fortunate enough to have this same kind of quiet time, no anxiety filled worry that I became rather complacent with it, let my guard down and was so not prepared for him returning home within a week. Yes he checked himself and wanted to rush back to his life and love……pills. At first he said he knew everything he had to do, would go to meetings, get a new sponsor because after all that’s what was part of most of his adult life. But so were drugs and relapses. He told me after he began obtaining pills again that he knew he didn’t have another recovery in him……..this time I finally believed him.
Always have your plan B, C, D, E, F, etc. in place and be prepared to follow through.
