Hope

AA 24 Hour ChipMy Son is again taking steps on the journey of his recovery.

He is entering a private program with a great reputation. Does their reputation guarantee his recovery? I am cognizant that there are no guarantees, yet I remain hopeful.

Today is a good day.

He has pulled himself away from the chaos of the last month and again righted the ship.

Time will in fact tell, but for my recovery I need to stay in the “here and now”. Thank you to all who have written kind words and offered support.

Peace and strength

    I am so hopeful for you and your son!!
    This is a journey, and as parents, we learn with each step. As do our children. We were told by a social worker at his current facility that our son is doing well- taking what he has learned and becoming a kind of leader to the group.
    It is a never ending journey, and we have to take pleasure in the small steps.

    I am glad to read this! I too, like you take my daughter’s recovery one day at a time, that said I do not deny my feelings of hope for her long term recovery. I have heard too many stories of recovery to not believe my daughter and your son and all addicts cannot recover. I believe they can and will have good fulfilling lives.

      Thank you David – I truly hope all is well and that your daughter stacks up continued “one day at a time”s … Yes they can but Im advised by a mutual friend of ours to never project their recovery. Good advice.

      Wishing both our children “good fulfilling lives”

      peace
