[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 752456, member: 24254"] Yes, worrying is like praying for the worst possible outcome. I learned that in Al-Anon. Just pray for your son. I like to use affirmative prayer as if it has already happened "Thank you for knowledgeable professionals who will be guided perfectly in what to do in this situation". Our children have their own Higher Power. And if we get out of the way and allow that power to do it's thing, we can trust that all is well . My job is to care for me today. To let it all go. To tend to myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It's a full time job. I have to protect my serenity and well being because nobody else well. I have to find my own happiness regardless of what the people I love are creating in their lives. Sometimes a crisis situation ends up the biggest blessing for growth and change. My son made a decision to take acid and I knew about it from his sister. I was horribly afraid. But I refrained from interfering. I prayed for his safety. He came through just fine. Again I knew that from his sister. I did not ask .The information came to me because she wanted to share it .I never let on with her how terribly afraid I was. It's all about faith. Faith that in God's world nothing, absolutely nothing, happens by mistake. Acceptance is the answer to all of my problems today. [/QUOTE]
