[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 467042, member: 84"] TL It [B]is[/B] hard, and you [B]won't[/B] stop worrying. You can't rescue him, you can't save him from himself, you can't do this for him. (there were days that this was my mantra with bff) You can, however, do things to help you feel better. Take a long walk. Go out for coffee with a close friend and catch up. Have a girls night out with dinner and a movie. You and husband have a date night. Curl up in your favorite chair and hunker down with a good book. You know he's safe, he's where he needs to be. So while he's there, try to do what you can to enjoy the difficult child "down time" and make the most of it. Supporting difficult child in his efforts to become clean and sober does not mean you have to spend every moment of the day worrying and focused on it. If you take care of yourself along the way, you'll be in a better place to offer support when he [B]does[/B] need it. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
