~ Growing Pains ~
.............he stopped by to get the key to open up the business he works at... Stopping to come into where I was to give me a hug and kiss and say our..... I love you's.

Yesterday.....

It is amazing how quickly a moment can change and turn things around making it better for everyone or can end relationships for years, if not completely.  I am  beginning to see how so much of it depends on the relationship you have to begin with. 

Stressed to the max - as my household has been several times over the past few months, I had to confront a few of the things that were really beginning to effect  me.  I again found myself trying to take care of everyone.  There can be a very fine line between helping  someone or enabling someone to continue on as they are.

My youngest son and his wife and their child moved out... ..... yesterday.  I did not tell them to leave, but their words were... "We will be out of here today."  Before  my son left though  he went around to each one of us... his brother .....sister.... and myself, giving a hug and  saying he loved us.

We are all learning  along this "Road of Recovery."   We are growing and I am so thankful we  continue to love and respect each other along the way.  I have quite an amazing family.

I am sober  today...being able to say that ..this moment.. is a very good thing.

P.S.
To those who have wrote and asked if.. I'm still here...the answer is.... " yes, I am very much ."  I have not been able to spend the time I use to at my computer, though.  My mind is continually drawn to all of us on this..... Road of Recovery... as I continue down it daily.

We are making it ...ONE DAY AT A TIME
