Well been getting thru minute by minute right now......The addition has totally taken over the addict once again....I can't worry about that....
So happy I start a new job on Tuesday....that is so great...I am very thankful about that......moving forward, step by step...just don't think I have the time I needed.....I know it will be ok.....
I told him this morning, you are a grown man, you have two choices, you can stay sober and be a part of this family or you can go out and do your thing.....however, if you choose to use you must leave this house......It will not be tolerated by me and the kids....now I know he is going to fight me....I will win...he knows this....small town...having an uncle in politics doesn't hurt.....he left this morning to drop me off to pick up my car...came home for an hour while I was shopping and is gone again...so wheather he likes it or not....he made his choice.......my main concern right now is my son....he is here with 3 friends.....I am praying azzhole doesn't embarasse h im yet again.......I pray he just stays out.........
The good news is, I have opened a new chapter in my life.....I am looking forward to see how it turns out.....with any luck.....and many prayers.....I have the faith and strength to know it will be ok......the good lord will guide me thru and I will see the sun shining brightly.....how beautiful is that....I can see a ray :)
When God closes a door he opens a window. Here's to starting a new chapter in your life. May it be filled with love, happiness and serenity. We're here for you. Awfully proud of you girlfriend.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

You sound absolutely wonderful! I am very happy for you and the kiddos hon. You all deserve some "normalcy", some peace and quiet. Ah, but when we reach that stage of acceptance - accepting the things we cannot change (them); and changing the things we can (not living with an active A), life is sweet. It's like a switch that all of a sudden comes on.
We are here for you.
love Maria

Andrea: I know a lot where you are coming from. I have seen you go through so much in this group, two rehabs, trying to make it work, working your program, deciding to go back to work.
I know it is all in HP's hands.
I am so so glad to know you and watch you grow, it gives me hope and determination and inspiration.
As always, I continue to lift you, kids and hubby up in prayer! God is bigger than any "storm" we face and will see us through. I'm excited for you and your new job! You truly are moving forward......a step of faith! Keep me posted on your son's football season and your daughter's driving... My son is doing well, struggling some, but getting stronger....we all have learned so much. Other kids are doing well, starting school tomorrow (Tuesday). My freshmen son gets to suit up with the Varsity Football team, but will see most of his playing time on the JV. My daughter starts her Senior year.....so hard to believe. Well stay strong and keep you eyes on the Lord!
