[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 570902, member: 27"] Nancy, what a great Christmas! I'm so happy to hear things went so well. Baby steps, but yes, very important baby steps. I'll bet it was nice to have easy child spend the night and I'm glad that difficult child was so appreciative of her family. That's a huge present! Kathy, I'm sorry that difficult child upset you on Christmas Eve. Hopefully as time goes on, she will come to understand that this was just one Christmas out of a lifetime, if she can stay on the right track. Glad easy child helped make it a special holiday. Step, contented happiness sounds like a great gift! Dashcat, awww about the pj's. Love that tradition! Glad it was a great holiday. AG, how nice that you had such a great visit! I remember when my difficult child was in a residential facility for a year, and we did get to spend Christmas together. By then, he was accepting of his addiction and we also had a wonderful holiday together. RM, hugs. I know all difficult child has put you through, and I know it still has to hurt. Great news that easy child/difficult child has a year of sobriety! We had a great Christmas here, but I can remember and relate to a lot of the worry and stress many in this Sub Abuse forum face. My difficult child has been drug free for quite a few years now, and will celebrate three years of sobriety in January. Of course, I never take anything for granted, and he still has to do it one day at a time. My hope for the New Year is that he can finally get his license back. It has been 6 years! He's doing everything they've asked, and is active in AA and even runs the Saturday night open talk meetings at the local Alano Club, so my Christmas wish and New Year hope is that they finally give him a chance.
