I was doing pretty well.  I feel depressed and I'm mad at myself for allowing this.  I am mad at myself for second guessing a decision I made because now I'm not sure if I want to follow through...

One day at a time.  I'm really getting better at now at not projecting or trying to guess what will happen next.  I'm also so much aware of the eerie "coincidences" that keep happening in my life....

Yesterday we received an envelope in the mail addressed to our son T.  It said for it to only be opened by the addressee that included a return address from what looked like a law firm.  What? I...

Two new baseball hats - no clothes - and out very late two nights with no cell call returns. I called it.  Yesterday when I talked to my husband on the phone he asked me for an update on T.  I told...

Thought T was doing "better" or, at least, he was acting better.  He started school this week and made it through.  Because he's still using he has his moments and didn't come home until very early...

I've been doing very well despite T's and J's situation.  J appears to be doing very well but I know he isn't - as long as I know he's drinking.  He tells me he's doing fine and is now only...

My "baby" turned 19 today.  He didn't come home last night but walked in the door at 8AM - conversational and calm.  He said that his friends all got together at his good friend's house to...

Our oldest invited his brothers to visit him in his new hometown (2 1/2 miles away) to watch a pro soccer match.  Both boys went!  In the past the youngest would have bowed out of it so it was...
