[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 739143, member: 22840"] Oh lord, Albatross. I can’t even imagine getting to the point where I think my son has finally gotten it only to find out it seems he was just “holding his breath” to get back to his normal. But I do know a few people in AA/NA, full fledged adults who’s anniversary meetings I have gone to. They talked about the dangerous times of slipping back, an ending of what they called the pink cloud period. It’s like all of the good feelings go away and they are stuck dealing with real life, and it hurts, it’s so much more than building one’s self up. It’s the boring and hard everyday life, dealing with normal issues and continuing on. In those coin meetings multiple people talked about “slipping up” and starting again at those times. I’m praying your son is safe and has done enough work on himself to see he needs to pick himself up and start over. [/QUOTE]
