Hi everyone, Hope today finds u all well, Its a long weekend here in the states, been busy here, went to c my son yesterday, he just finsihed college for the year and is working a job for the summer, When i first got sober he sent me a big book in the mail, i havent seen to much of him the last couple of years but we talk on the phone once a week. We both have grown up so much, and he is a fine young man working hard at school and work, however, i dont know if the drinking years will ever heal totally, life has been good here, every once and a while something will pop up to test me, maybe gods way to tell me i am still a alcoholic. have a great day wagon
Happy Memorial weekend! The camp grounds across the way by the river are jammed full of partiers this weekend. By midnight I was ready to start shooting in that direction just so my dogs would shut up. In the wee a.m., I was again ready to shoot the campers, so that they would shut up, LOL. Ah, dirt bikes...I used to like them.
It does take time for our kids to have faith in us again. I've a son that's 38, and he still has a habit of "reminding me when". Maybe I should send him over to the campgrounds....I finally realized, I've made my amends, about a hundred times over to him, so now it's on him to move past it. He figured out that guilt is a great motivator towards me, so I've got to step away and not let it manipulate me. Your son sounds supportive, so in time...
I hope this is a good long weekend for you. hug Chris

my son was born in my 5th year of sobriety, he is now 13. sobriety doesnt stop you from making bad decisions, or errors of judgement. he trys to play the guilt card too.i remind him that maybe an android mom would be perfect, but as i come in human form, i make mistakes and am not perfect just like the rest of the human race. it doesnt convince him but makes me feel better! lol
