[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 740287, member: 15801"] I guess my biggest fear is that this will really set him back to feeling really bad about himself and head him into another relapse.... if he can pick himself up and get through this intact then there will be some good lessons learned.... but only time will tell. We are going on a great trip. We are going on safari in Tanzania for 3 weeks. The first 10 days will be with some other friends and then we will be going off on our own. The first part of the trip we probably will not have any internet access so they will only be able to reach us through the travel agency in a true emergency. In a way that may be really good for me because I will really have to let go of my worry for that time period. We do have a family member as an ermergency contact here in the US and he is still involved in this outpatient program that has been great so he is not totally alone without any support. Thanks for all your comments.... yes his attitude about it was good of course I havent talked to him it was only through text message that he told me. I am hoping he is telling me the whole story and there is not some other piece he is leaving out. The other crazy thing that happened this week is he got a bill from a utility company for the cost of the telephone pole he hit in january to the tune of $80,000. His mail has still been coming to our address so I opened it. Thank goodness the car was in his name so we are not responsible for that because no way could or would we pay that!!! It made me realize though that I need to forward his mail.... because really why am I getting that stuff and worrying about it for him. I dont need that. That is a consequence of his own actions and something he has to deal with, the insurance etc. I guess what gets to me is wondering how with all of these things hanging over him (due to his own actions) how does he ever get out from under it all..... I guess it all comes down to truly choosing recovery and doing it. I sure hope he is on his way to that. TL [/QUOTE]
