Taking deep breaths...

48 hours, and no dramas. All is quiet on the Western Front.

Seriously, I am focusing on my work, coming home, cooking dinner and having about one hour of rest before going to bed. I haven't watch TV in almost a week.

I've talked to B, but there's been no drama. He's looking for a job. He has a new roommate, "A". I've known "A" for many years. I like "A", but-- I am assuming A uses, or has used. A was at my home two nights ago, when he brought B to our home to pick up some insulin. I looked right at A and my son and said, "you two are either going to be one another's undoing-- or, I pray, you two will stay sober together.

I do not think my son is in danger. It's just a feeling. I think he's laying very low and I pray that he is finally free of the crazy people who were in their life. They are all in rehab, to avoid jail time.

That's all I have to say. I still don't have one Christmas decoration unpacked. Three more days, and I'm on my two week Winter Break vacation.

I pray, every morning, for all of us-- we family of bloggers. Every morning, without fail... I pray for the Alex's and Keven's and so many of you.

I'm literally taking each day, one day at a time-- in faith and in prayer.

I am trying to breath, and not allow my son's crazy life to become my own.

Thank you, for you private emails and support. I'm sorry I haven't answered back. This early darkness is giving me the blues. Speaking of...it's past my bedtime!

Only three days till two weeks off! I hope that you get to rest, relax, cook up a storm and enjoy some time off.

Its good to hear that no new drama has surfaced, lets hope A and B are good for each other!

Thank you so much for your prayers, I pray for all of us every day too. One day at a time is all we can do, if I think of the future (keven having freedom again) I will worry myself silly...so I just don't think about it!

Sometimes that quiet feels like the eye of a hurricane passing overhead.

You amaze me with your knowledge about this disease. There were probable no more truer words then those above at that time. I really hope you have a happy Christmas or I should say a uneventful one. Hopefully B will be drinking his methadone and get some clean time under his belt and a few weeks of normalcy and like it. In return I hope he gets on a maitenance dose because after his detox is over the obsession to use will return with a vengence. I just hope he is truely sick and tired of being sick and tired and with no job right now I really believe he is ready.
