[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 581232, member: 15801"] Dont get me wrong I totally understand about the envy too.... it is just that wakegirl has not been on the board through all the angst and worry and relapses and disappointments I have been through and the last thing I want is for her to go through some of what I have been through!! And hopefully Wakegirl I can give you hope, because really if my son gets through to the next phase then your son can too!!! Did you find an alanon meeting? After our discussion here I went to a meeting and there was a call for suggestions of a meeting topic. I suggested "obsession" which everyone thought was a great topic.... and one that we could all relate to. The nugget i took away from the meeting is that my obsessive worry (and checking of Fb etc.) doesnt change a thing for him. It doesnt have any a effect on him one way or another.... what it does do is affect me and make me miserable. So it comes back to knowing what you can change and what you can't. Accept the fact that your worrying isnt going to change what is going to happen with him. So put your energy into those things that will make a positive difference to you. TL [/QUOTE]
