[QUOTE="KFld, post: 408985, member: 2442"] I have been turning my cell phone off at a certain hour at night because he doesn't know my house phone number. I was good with it last week and for some reason the past few nights, and maybe it's because he is getting so close to getting the treatment he wants and I can't wait until tomorrow when he calls and says he took his first suboxone, I turn it off but then keep thinking about turning it back on when I wake up at 2a.m. just to see if there are any missed messages. I'm just praying he doesn't screw up anything between now and tomorrow and I'm on pins and needles counting the hours!! I need to get back into my alamom mode. LOL!! I am going to use the serenity prayer tonight and something else I remember that used to work for me. When I was going through my divorce one of the staff members I work with performed healing touch on me and when I mentioned having trouble sleeping she told me to take deep breaths because it slows the heart rate and concentrate on every breath you take in and out and in and out. I remember now that concentrating on the breaths blocked me from concentrating on anything else. I'm so angry that I'm having to go through all of this again and I just don't want to, plain and simple!!! I thank god everyday that my boyfriend has been so supportive and has the attitude right now that we both need to know we did everything we could and if he screws up, it won't be because of us. I know if he does screw this up, which I'm feeling is inevitable, then I know if I can't walk away, it will start effecting our relationship. He never ever wanted kids, and he keeps saying to me, "people ask me why I didn't want kids". I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't make the choice to live this way, he did!! I choose a normal life and deserve to be able to sleep at night without having to worry about what the next day, or hour will bring! [/QUOTE]
