[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 527601, member: 3710"] TL: I am so very sorry about your difficult child, and all the worry that he is causing you. I love the comment that Buddy wrote that we are holding your hand in cyber space. I like to think that we are all holding each others hands to support each other on this terrible journey of addiction. When my son first went to jail I was not able to sleep at night. I would lie awake for hours at night thinking that my difficult child was in danger and that there was nothing that I could do to help him. I was so upset and I was making myself sick with my constant worrying about difficult child. When I went to an FA meeting I told several members that I could not sleep at night. One person suggested that when I was lying awake with worry that I should try to replace my fear with faith. She said that every time I started to imagine all the horrible things that happen in jail I should just repeat the phrase "Fear to faith" over and over. I tried saying this phrase at night and it helped to get my mind off of my difficult child for a little bit. I just started thinking about the phrase "Fear to Faith" all the time as I repeated this phrase over and over. Of course FA also tells us to Let go and Let god. That is a lot easier said than done... I am still holding your hand in cyber space. (((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
