[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 623888, member: 17542"] Me, too. How many times does it take? I have lost count of how many times he has been arrested and been in jail. I should have kept a log of all of this, but who knew? It is somewhere between 7 and 9 times over the past three years. He doesn't seem to be able to make it in the real world. Obviously, his addiction continues to progress, like addiction does. His roller-coaster ride has been just about straight down. I find myself going through all of the mental exercises again. What can I do? What should I do? What might help? Is there anything that would help and if there is, how can that happen? And then I stop. I know there is no reasonable pathway here. I have been there done that. Already. Multiple times. And then I think: But maybe this time, this time, he's finally ready. And then I remind myself that it's up to HIM, not me, to save his own life. Ugh. This is the stuff of the dark night of the soul. I'm waking up earlier since last week. So last night I went to bed at 9:30. That needs to be my MO for a while. I can't do this when I'm tired. It's too hard. Yes he does. That is exactly what he needs. I am praying that somehow, someway this comes to pass. I'm okay most of the day but I have my mental meltdowns. I have to say it all again to someone, and then I can put it aside and go on. To a good day today, friends. [/QUOTE]
