Hoping,

Thanks for stopping by and for pointing out, as has been many times by other people here , that ow is just a bandaid.

Patience is becoming my middle name. Now if I could only get there with my four year old

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the longest he's gone (since he returned) without drinking and/or going to ow? Point: next time it'll be two weeks/three weeks/etc....



You know he is getting better, you're right. I've noticed it and the thing is the night before last we had a "normal" night, H seemed less alien--that he even brought up something from five years ago floored me as he rarely brings things up from the past like that.

Slowly, slowy..LL pointed that out in her thread today..that sometimes things don't move as fast as we want them to and for every step forward my H is still stepping backwards.

He just called me to see what time his doctor appt. was today and that he wouldn't be able to make it. I knew he had the appointment and was going to call to remind him, but decided not to, just another mother thing to do for him. I'll have to call and cancel it for him, but that's okay I'd rather do that then have him just not show up.

S4 called H back after we were on the way to daycare this morning and was asking if his dad would pick him up tonight, which H said he would do. So H is coming home tonight, even though he told me "probably not" yeah right.

My H is an addict and needed a fix, now he feels good again..until the next time.

For all the times I've been calling him and he hasn't returned my calls the last week...it turns around H is calling me again. the saga continues.
