Acceptance

[MajestyJo]

It is so difficult to practice acceptance when it comes to my son and his disease. I don't question he has it and his actions, he is a mirror of my old behaviour. I have trouble accepting his decision not to do anything about it and the fact he keeps going back into an abusive relationship.

Trying to accept his choices are difficult. He told me the other day he is better when he is with her than without her, and I know that they love each other as much as they are capable of loving while in active addiction.

I have to accept that the words and the actions are the disease speaking instead of my son. It is difficult.

Thanks for letting me share.

Thank God for this program. Thank God it is one day at a time. Not so easy to do as he grow in his addiction and I grow old!
