I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses to my post "Its working!!!!". I was feeling a little down because friday night yet again he stayed out late at his friends, he was supposed to be home at 6:00 to watch my son but never showed up to releave his family, when I got back from my daughters game and called him I found this out and lost it. So he didn't come home until after we were in bed. Then Saturday morning I let him have it again, for one reason because he was planning on going back to that friends house to help dig for a septic and I felt that he had plenty to do at home and spent more than enough time away Friday night. But of course he went anyway and I went and did what I needed to do.
I did, however, maintain calm, sort-of, for the rest of the weekend. But after reading all of your replies I have a renewed sense that I can do it. Ofcourse I will slip but maybe if I can keep it up it will become habit and there will be less slips.
As far as him having friends I don't approve of I can't stop him so why try, his hp has a plan for him and I have to remember that. Hopefully, he won't return to going to that friends every night of the week and spending all his time there but if he does than I guess I will have to deal with it when it happens.
Holly just want to say,,glad you are posting, and you will find that most people can certainly relate to your situation. Keep working it,,,you are worth it!,,take care gardengal
