[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 621350, member: 17542"] It's so hard to let go. The other day I was driving through town. I had this strong compulsion to drive by the day shelter where I know my son has gone over the past few weeks to eat breakfast, lunch and use the computer, etc. My car started to go there (lol). But I didn't. I wanted to, but I didn't. I am not sure I will ever stop wanting to. Drive by, check my email from him, whatever it is. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. It's not about the wanting to. It's about what I DO. I had enough recovery, energy, whatever not to DO IT. It's not about what we think. It's not about what we say. It's about what we do. Forgive ourselves when we stumble, because folks, this is hard stuff. Then get up and try to do better. It's all about us now. Peace, serenity, contentment...and even joy. Whatever gives us that, let's do it more. [/QUOTE]
