I thought I lost my first post but I guess I didnt, it is in the SA forum, then I tried to delete it and I couldnt figure it out.
So I had already re typed my post in this forum so now there two.
D has been amzing, sober one year 11/17/08 he relapsed for 2 weeks a year ago but called his program and got back on track quickly. Before that he had 6 months sober, used once and got back on track. So in almost 2 years he has dont great. He is still taking suboxone but has weaned from 16mg to 4mg. He is scared to stop, he is comfortable now and that is fine with me. He has been holding 2 sometimes 3 jobs for the past 2 years, the same girlfriend as well. He still lives home but I like it. We have game nights and family dinners. He hardly ever goes out, they hang out and watch movies a lot. He picks his sister up from school 3 days a week and watches her for me. He helps her with her homework and gives her a snack. He saves money and has a car and pays his bills. He golfs with is Dad and helps him in the yard. They work out at the gym occasionally. I cant ask for anything more right now.
I never thought I would be here. The clouds have lifted and my family is blessed.
To those of you who remember us, Thank you! I couldnt have done it without you. And for those of you who are new to this journey, hang in there. and take care of yourself first. I know it seems impossible but it does get better. You just have to define what "it" is. but "it" does, I promise. "it" may not be your child but your cloud will lift and you will get your life back.
How is everyone here?
