[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709870, member: 18958"] Beautifully put, bluebell. To me, this is not helpful to you, this way of thinking--which is all or nothing. This is only this moment, this hour, today. To think of this intervention as your only shot makes it FEEL potentially catastrophic, for you and for him. This is not true. Because you already know in addiction that there is likely to be relapse, this way of thinking acts to put you in disaster mode already...before it has happened. Your son knows you love him, that you will be there for him, that in your heart there will always be another try...that is the important thing. Try to give yourself that reassurance too. [/QUOTE]
