[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764781, member: 19522"] I’ve been spending the day nursing this cold. Feeling a bit better, thankfully. I did for sure think that this would be a different story. I still have hopes, KT, I will just need to slow my horses down a bit. Thank you for checking in and for the hugs. That is true AS, hope can definitely feel risky. To have our hopes dashed is painful. Your statement made me search up hope and I found this quote ““We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” — Martin Luther King, Jr. I think when I get too attached to an outcome, that’s when I lose parts of myself and venture down the rabbit hole. I wish things worked out differently, but I have no control over Tornados choices. I have no control over a timeline. It is wonderful. And it was a blessing to be able to spend time with her when she was sober. I do believe connecting is important but have learned that I need to be discerning. My recovery is more towards adjusting my response to both my daughter’s addiction. For many years the drama and chaos were front and center, and that was killing me. I am a recovering enabler. The work for me is to know when to take a step back, for my health and safety. Yup, the dreaded backsliding. One would think I would be used to it by now. I’m not. I do so hope that will be true. The steps she has made are progress. That’s for sure. It is also court mandated. So part of that is it is not initiated by her. I think that is her struggle right now, that she has “no choice”. I told her that rather than lament her consequences, maybe she could look at it as God watching out for her. I have not explored anything for her, she is an adult and will do as she pleases. I don’t know if methadone works for meth addicts. Thank you Newstart, I am hoping the same. [/QUOTE]
