[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 763502, member: 29962"] Leaf, you make my day every time you respond. Your optimism and reminders to take care of myself are such a great nudge and reality check. I feel better. I just keep reminding myself that he is in the absolute best place that he could be at this moment and, if there was ever a time to take a break from the worrying, it's now. This is a shift in the pattern for me. I now know for certain that he was using something stronger than marijuana and that I have fallen for some lies and manipulation. I was second guessing everything before. I now have an internal boundary set that, if he walks away from the rehab, I'm done. I already vocalize to him that if he continues using, I can't be a part of his life because I can't handle it, it hurts me too badly. Being taken down by the drowning man. This is the best possible case scenario for today. Now I am refocusing on 2023 and, even though I know that there are good times and bad times within every year, I'm focused in working hard on myself to stay healthy. It is comforting to know I can share my journey with this community and not be judged. Thank you ❤️ [/QUOTE]
