Cathy,

I've been reading but not posting--only because Laurie seems to be holding well here with you. And I must say that I think your courage and willingness to love through a problem must be commended. Blue ribbon time...

This must be the substance abuse time of year for lots of folks... at least ones in my circle. My brother is at my parents house waiting to enter rehab (for the zillionth time)--he's on a waiting list. Oh, and he's probably going to jail in April for quite awhile.

That being said, do you attend Al-Anon meetings? There are good ones and bad ones, but the good ones make the effort very worthwhile. You've already got a wonderful take on detaching while your H realizes he has a problem, but I'm just thinking more about some local support as well.

I also think you have so much to offer those who haven't come as far on the journey as you obviously have.

Keep smiling, girl!

Betsey
