Well this day is coming to a close for me and dare I say that there are many moments in the past year that I wasn't sure my journey would make it to this hour... but it has and by the grace of my God I'll be clean another day. I am very happy and encouraged about my future and most importantly my son's.
Just quickly, my son begins his psych couselling tomorrow and he's been in a positive, almost good mood, consistantly for the past 4-5 days :)
And of course with all good things there seems to be a hardship and that would be my 22 yo step-son, the good son, the only one of three we've never had to worry about, was in a car accident yesterday afternoon. No drugs or alcohol... simply distracted driving. Though stable, he's in critical condition and is facing a very long recovery with posiible brain injury and substantial facial reconstruction. Not a scratch from the neck down, which is suggested to be the reason for his stability.
I'm not sure why the evil one seems to pick on me but hey! I'm a tough cookie... I'm 18 years clean!!!
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and perspectives, encouragement and support... you're a part of my life even though I don't post frequently!

My step son is doing well... they've confirmed he has no internal or spinal injuries so now they're able to focus on his head. He's actually looking better than we anticipated and not nearly as swollen either. He's still recognizable so we're very happy.
Peace, kd
