Thanks for the prayers and Doll?

Thanks for the prayers guys, I truly believe in the power of prayer.


The visit with my husband went okay, I think he was suprised to see me. I tried to encourage him, but reminded him why he was there. It wasn't because they (the probation officers) are out to get him,it was because of the alcoholism, plain and simple. He did get to see his Dr. this week and has put in a request for the state to pay for his meds. If they won't ,well....


My heart broke as I sat next to a woman ,who was crying, as her 20 year old son was begging and pleading for her to get him out of jail and the mess he was in.I can't imagine if that was my 19 year old son how I would feel. I'm so thankful and grateful that today it wasn't my son, and pray it never will be.My husband  was also listening to this young man, because he said to remind our son not to get involved in the drug world.


I encouraged him to write to our son,to share what he could with him, I've always been the communicator. He said he'd been reading the bible, the Big Book, and a lot of paperbacks, he was always a workaholic, so he hates the laying around.


I know this marriage has been over for a long time, but our life is not over. He is not the man I married, I'm not the woman he married. I was drinking a gallon of vodka in less than 2 days, I got sober, and his alcoholism just continued to progress. I care what happens to him, I want to see him free from the bondage, I want to see the laughter again in his blue eyes.I just want him to experience a sober life,I can let go and let God, I pray he does.And it is a relieve to know I'm not in control of any of this.


Doll, how did the call to your mother go? I may have missed a post below. I prayed for you too.Expectations are sometimes my down fall, so the less I have the better things seem to turn out.


Well, I 'm sooooo tired , but for some reason I just don't want to crawl in the bed. It's cold and the wind is really blowing,the wind chimes sound so neat.


Thanks again for the prayers and I pray for all on this board always.May each of us have a sober 24 hours.


(((Hugs)))

The phone call went FINE! She said "sorry we didn't get back that way, things just didn't work out!!" and she proceeded to her usual aches/pains, etc..............God knows I'm not ready yet!


Sounds like things may be looking up for hubby, atleast he's acknowledging things....... still praying for you.


Love you , Gammy
