All I could do was to love her and get out of the way. And yes, sometimes I think I'm standing right in the way of me and God, too. <br /><br />But it sounds like you are making progress, and that's a blessing. Both for you and for your son. I'm glad you have made a commitment to attend meetings. They helped me a lot.

It sounds to me like you are doing such a good job of recognizing what is happening, and thinking things through.

I hope things improve soon, it sounds like your counseling is really helping you when you can hear her voice in your head (always a good sign!).Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-30664191447628871942010-03-31T16:49:08.473-07:002010-03-31T16:49:08.473-07:00It is always progress in your recovery when you re...It is always progress in your recovery when you recognize you are slipping (at least that is what I think). When I first started going to meetings, I didn't understand, thought my situation, my son, my need to help him was different than every one elses. You are doing great.<br /><br />Relapsing for us, working on our own recovery from codependency is no different than an addicts relapse. And we constantly tell ourselves and hear at meetings that relapse is part of recovery. The same is true for you.<br /><br />Hang in there and I will continue to keep you in my prayers. You are in the middle of a difficult place right now, but you will emerge stronger and healthier, I know. And I will continue to pray for the same for your son.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419235000980170328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-43410667836110939392010-03-31T13:59:33.643-07:002010-03-31T13:59:33.643-07:00Rambling helps it all come out, that's what I ...Rambling helps it all come out, that's what I think anyway.

Have patience with yourself. In Al-Anon the saying is "progress not perfection". You will have times when you feel out of sorts. Know you have people out here praying for you and who love you.<br />I had the same thing going on a couple weeks ago - it actually lasted about 6 days. But then I immersed (forced!) myself back in the truths of Al-Anon and hands of my loving God.<br />Just do the next right thing~<br />God bless.<br />Love & (((hugs)))Heather's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323023399443964827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-32891793408130285092010-03-31T05:33:52.910-07:002010-03-31T05:33:52.910-07:00these periods just really suck. they just do.these periods just really suck. they just do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03699870975776139552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-19173925199147377712010-03-31T05:17:03.325-07:002010-03-31T05:17:03.325-07:00I can relate to the fine line between letting go a...I can relate to the fine line between letting go and giving love & support.

If I keep going to meetings, work with others and work the steps, I feel good. If any part of my recovery armor starts to fall away, then I go back into the rabbit hole. Take care and let God do His part with you and your son.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-8948197953212220942010-03-31T03:32:43.408-07:002010-03-31T03:32:43.408-07:00Wow.
