Call me crazy but T had called and asked if he could stay overnight at his friend's house.  He called earlier and asked if he could stay at his friend's a bit longer because they were in the middle...

I think T is again flying "under the radar" (or maybe) and I am not sure where he is heading - time will tell, I guess.  He is hanging out with kids who are in recovery but I saw some talk on-line...

I think T was planning on using because he was stressing but I don't think he used.  Funny, after him being sober for so long I can really notice the difference in him.  There was more talk on-line...

Sometimes it's good to look back to see how far you've moved forward.  I, personally, need those reminders to stay positive when I noticed things have slipped a bit.   This month was a difficult...

Went to the breakfast meeting over the concern over the drug issue in our school's and community.  The meeting was well represented - mayor, clergy from all churches, social service people, the...

Today it was a bit frustrating with T.  Tutoring plans fell through because T didn't like the way we (tutor and I) changed them.  I wanted to scream.  Well, I DID raise my voice.  T has missed so...

I'll admit that I am a bit frustrated with T, even as well as he seems to be doing.  He still doesn't see the urgency to get his one class, chemistry, behind him.  His teacher could have written...

JUST COUNTING MY BLESSINGS.  I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW STRANGE IT IS TO HAVE MY SON, 17, DOING SO WELL.  I DON'T KNOW HIM.  IT'S WONDERFUL BUT IT DEFINITELY IS A NEW NORM.  HE'S SO EASY AND VERY...

As a parent I know I did the right thing.  It wasn't easy to say no and I tell you I was very, very close to saying yes.  T-Man has been soooo  gooood.  He's been doing everything we ask of him,...

I found it difficult to see the end of the tunnel this time last year.  It was so depressing.  Now we are seeing the light and it's so wonderful, very grateful. Last night we had our friends over...

What an amazing Christmas we had.   The 4 hour car ride with my husband and the boys were so special and calm. Not that it was ever unpleasant in the past, but the "boys" really interacted with...

I am very grateful for T's sobriety and the fact that he's not acting like a dry drunk, anymore.  Even the friends are different.  I knew once he got out of this using group he'd be able to find...

I already bought a gift for the "Adopt A Family" at our church.  I did sign up to shop for presents that were missing for the wish lists.   I was called to buy 10 gifts (sweaters, jeans, sweatsuit...

Last night my friend, Deb, called and asked if I'd be interested in going to an Al Anon meeting.  I said sure.  She is the one who is on my outdoor soccer team whose husband is in recovery for a...

I'm feeling better - not awesome but much better than I was.  One thing I did to get me out of my funk was to go up to church yesterday and help with the "Adopt A Family" project, for...
