and then life slaps you...

someone i love is out there...struggling, not even knowing what it is he is struggling with...my son...am feeling the pain, and walking through it...there is nothing else to do except turn him over...let go and let God...and accept whatever happens today...

i am grateful today for my own sobriety...and even though i know the possibilities of survival out there in active addiction are not promising, he does know about recovery...of course so did i and i stayed out there for years...and had to be forced into it with jail and drug court...right now all i can do is love him and pray for God's will in his life...

took care of me, and went to a meeting, as i do every day...am again experiencing step one...the absolute powerlessness of this disease...it is only by grace that i am sober today...

life on life's terms is not easy sometimes...but it is doable without a drink or a drug...and that would only make things much worse than they already are...soooooooooo...i am at peace about it...but i am still a mother in pain...and today, that is ok...it is just where i am...and where i am suppose to be...
