THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG ABOUT MY SON'S ADDICTION. I no longer write here, but you can find me at the blog listed to the right, "Heroin Addiction - Ten Years In".
1. Get rid of beer in the house (used it for a hair rinse, makes hair shiny) 2. Get rid of other alcohol (hide the cooking Brandy, drink the Baileys) 3. Lock up Daisy's syringes in box and hide key (Daisy is one of our dog's) 4. Make small welcome home sign for his bedroom door 5. Continue loving support 6. Apply knowledge, intuition and boundaries 7. Acknowledge fear and worry - then drop like a hot potato 8. Accept words of wisdom and support 9. Remember difference between "helping, fixing and serving" 10. Never give up hope and believing in him
I'm sure you have many emotions coursing through you with his anticipated homecoming! You are armed with more knowledge and insight for this new chapter!
Boy time really does fly, seems like yesterday you and I met via blogland! I love your list and would only add #11, live in the present moment, don't project, stay in the moment. I am happy for you and will continue to pray for K, Ant and of course you. Much love!
