I can say that I really put everything at home aside, I heard from the kids, but mainly to talk about the weather (comparing wonderful FL sunshine with freezing Wisconsin). Didn't think about work once!<br /><br />It was the best vacation, focused on our relationship, and thoroughly relaxed.<br /><br />Just getting back to catching up on blogs... wasn't ready for it for a few days after we got back.Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608446475815606649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772632838210699563.post-33737558795485647872011-02-20T10:30:47.473-06:002011-02-20T10:30:47.473-06:00Thinking about you and wondering how things went.....Thinking about you and wondering how things went...Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772632838210699563.post-9598999446945576702011-02-11T10:08:22.967-06:002011-02-11T10:08:22.967-06:00Hop on that plane and let go of everything at home...Hop on that plane and let go of everything at home....enjoy yourself! No matter if you are home or on vacation - anything and everything your son does is out of your control. He has almost 18 months, if he loses that you can deal with it later, but projecting what could happen is robbing you of your NOW. Don't let your own life slip away by worrying about his. Have FUN!!!Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772632838210699563.post-46007921825334256282011-02-10T10:31:30.006-06:002011-02-10T10:31:30.006-06:00Dialing for Pain?

You can call him, you can check his bank account and all you will have is more information that will either be the truth of the situation or not. You won't always know and it won't always be what you want or need to hear. My sponsor use to say to me, "maybe he will" or then again, "maybe he won't". I just didn't get it. Now I do. It means get on with your life. Whatever he does is his deal, not yours. You can only control your life. If you have an opportunity to get away from the insanity of addiction take it. BE FREE!!!!!! Enjoy!!! Detach a bit maybe not so much contact is a good thing for you right now.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147410397562366167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772632838210699563.post-85330355547817881892011-02-10T07:06:40.363-06:002011-02-10T07:06:40.363-06:00Thanks, Lori.

It was almost like ...I used to do this same thing. It was almost like my son telling me he was okay gave me the fix I needed. His addiction was my drug of choice...and like an addict, I needed it, but hated it at the same time. The problem with this tactic is, if he is using he will lie...so your "fix" will be very limited and false. Listen to what you know to be true. This is your son's fight. Live your life and enjoy your vacation.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861512970307127613noreply@blogger.com
