[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 672231, member: 13542"] A beautifully written, poignant tale filled with sorrow and acceptance.....thank you for sharing your story so eloquently New Leaf, there are many who will benefit from what you've been through. I am sorry that this is your present reality, I know how much grief you've experienced along the way to accepting what is, I have been through a similar journey with my daughter who will be 43 in a couple of weeks. Cedar once said that this is a "devastation like no other", which I think is probably the best definition of what we go through here. Remarkably, you've walked through this fire and come out the other side, as I have too.......and upon emerging from the fire, we find meaning for the depth of suffering we've endured......compassion for our children, for ourselves, for others who are suffering.....and with our experience, our new found wisdom, we can offer a helping hand to those still mired in the pain of it all. I've learned to live in this present moment, forays in to the past or the future are tortuous.........you've done a beautiful job of staying in the present, taking it one moment at a time. Your journey through this has left you with much wisdom, compassion, kindness and acceptance which, in my opinion, can break open our hearts to allow grace and love to bloom in very different ways........that has been my experience. You're a warrior New Leaf, a soldier on the battlefield of drug addiction......and you deserve the medal of honor, the purple heart.....for learning how to stand in the midst of the war, with explosions going off all around you.....and still maintain an open heart........no small feat.
