Janet she has many coins. She started geting them in rehab, and continued through her IOP and into AA. Obviously they don't mean much, in gfact I have found many of them in old purses and bags of clothes. I also bought her a necklace from AA that is a small horseshoe with the AA triangle symbol inside. She wears that evry day. Obviously that doesn't mean much either.
I'm beginning to think that she truly believes she can drink/use responsibly. She has been calling and texting this guy nonstop since last week. He will dump he like all the rest have at some point, but not untilafter he gets her to totally relapse. Addicts who leave recovery love to help others do the same because it helps them not feel so bad about themselves.
I have backed off. I am not communicating with her and we have told her that we won't stick around this time to watch her fall.
LMS there is truth in that saying "let go and let God." I have asked him to take this burden from me, that I can no longer carry it and she is now in his hands. We'll see if it works.
