No news is good news

Wow. Again, I cannot believe so many weeks have gone by without a post. That is probably a good thing.

Status quo for now. Our son is NOT using. Our son is not in trouble. Our son is alive. Our son is making his own appointments to see his probation officer. He is getting himself to community service. He is going to meetings. He is 'looking for a job', but its hard to find I know, so we are being patient because he is not using, is not getting into trouble, and he is still alive. Things will come in due time.

We have completed our family sessions with the big group down at the treatment center. I am going to miss those Friday night sessions, but it is time for us to move on. We still have our support group during the week and after the holidays we will start to go to Al-Anon or Nar-Anon meetings. My wife and I need to heal, we need to follow a 12 step program and start to catch up with our son and his recovery.

So for now, for today, everything is good. Again, break it down into simple terms: He is not using, he is not getting in trouble, and he is still alive. Everything after that will come in due time.

That's it for now. We have today, and that is good enough for me.
