Conversation with my son!

[justme1119]

I'm 7 days off Narco...trying to get the strength to call doctor and cancel prescription.  My husband and I decided to buy tickets to a football game tomorrow.  We bought 4, championship, college ball.  We are making our two sons get off the games and go with us.  1st time we've ever done anything with such solidarity!  It feels good!  Anyway, my 12 yr old son, decides he doesn't want to go.  He just wants to stay home and play video games.  His argument...Mom, you stay in your room for whole weekends and won't go anywhere, and now you decide you want to go to a football game and we have to fall in line behind you?  It hit me hard, but I said yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.  Go ME!  Reading my posts today have helped me see what a cycle I have here.  I'll read them every day if I have to.  What a great way to journal.  I've always wanted to do it, but too lazy or something.  Now I'm journaling about addiction, in an addiction community.  Go figure.  I'mDone and Gnarly have been so straightforward and I need that.  What's done is done....I can only go to tomorrow and His mercies are new every morning!  Actually, I've experienced God's mercy all week.  My birthday was Thursday.  My mom dropped my sister's gift off Monday.  I decided to wait until Thursday to open it.  My neck was hurting badly Thursday morning and my husband said at 5:30 am, "You should go by Walmart to get one of those things that you can microwave and put around your neck."  Guess what?  Yes.  My sister's gift was one of those things that you can microwave and put around your neck!  I had cried out to God and he heard my prayer and answered it.  Coincidence?  I don't think so!  And another thing.  Guess what my kids were watching when I got home from school today.  "The Boxer"  It's about addiction.  I sat down and watched it with them.  The first time I've done that in a couple of years.  I've seen it before, but really...watching it now, it had a whole new meaning!  God is in my life!  I know it!  Lord have mercy on me!  I am weak, but You are Strong!  You love me!  I know it!  The call Monday is going to the Doctor!  Not the Pharmacy!

Wow...such a powerful message.  Thank You! You have really made me think about things.  I am 29 days clean from meds and have really rejoined my family too.  God bless you...and make him go to that game!!! He will appreciate it in the long run!! :)

Hi, I loved reading your post.  I want to agree that God in my life! too!  I also know it!  I pray all time for the Lord to have mercy on me!  I need Him to do what I just can't do!  We are so weak, but He has all power!  We beg Him to use His power in our lives!  Please carry us through this time in our lives, Father God!  I pray for you to have the strength to make the call on Monday is go to the Doctor!  You can "bookend" it, with me or someone else.  You tell that person before you make the call what you are going to do.  Then you contact the person after you make the action.  Big hug.  Marie
