Progress, not perfection

Wow. I can't believe its been almost a month since my last post. I guess that means things are actually going ok. Quiet is good. Quiet is no problems and no action, which is good.

We have to remember that life can be broken down into simple terms at times. He is not using right now, he is not in jail, and he is still alive. Anything else right now is a bonus.

In the last few weeks there have been somethings going on, but nothing bad. Our son moved into a Sober House and that went well. We helped him with the move and he has settled down there. He is looking for a job and going to meetings and doing what he can to keep busy. He had his final court date and that went as expected with only two years probation. He has done the things we asked him to do on his own....make an appt with a dr, make sure he gets to his probation meeting, etc...so we are hoping that he is starting to grow up a little bit and learn some responsibility. He is learning how to get around without a car (trains, busses, and rides from friends).

Two weeks ago he actually came home for a visit with his sponsor. We invited them over for dinner. It went well and at the end of the night we drove him back home.

Therefore, I can't complain. We just need to find a way to not worry about him, and that is part of our own recovery.

I'll try to post more, but I am just tired all the time and just can't seem to find the effort. I think my own recovery will help with that.
