[QUOTE="buddy, post: 505670, member: 12886"] I remember having a time like this too, not quite so dramatic but just saying time to stop... time to just do the right thing (I was immersed in anorexia and bulimia at the time). I really did embrace treatment and have never looked back, not even urges. Has he always been a little spiritual or are these friends from a religious group? Spirituality can be a huge help/support. Of course we all know some who make that the next big thing they cling to to feel better so just wondering if this seems normal to you in terms of level of reference to God or if it seems like he is on a new path? I hope if it is, it is a healthy form, not the cult-ish kind. I would feel good about this, but I have no clue about these things with addicts. You all say that they always lie, but I suppose as he said, the proof will be in his actions over time. I am sure it is hard to maintain that if you are going through withdrawal symptoms etc. For both of you, I really hope this is a change. But if it is not, you STILL know these thoughts are in him and that is a good thing. He seems to have a really good heart under this all. odd that he sent it at 4 but I suppose he figured texting wouldn't wake you. HUGS and fingers crossed.... [/QUOTE]
