Just for today, my son is employed. Just for today, he is seeking sober friends. Just for today, he is paying rent. Just for today, he is taking showers. Just for today, he is clean. Just for today, I am working on me. Happy Halloween.

Well, that's good. "Enjoy the little things in life. For one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."

Patrizia's Mom, your post reminded me of the "mosquito in a tent". Indeed the little things often turn out to be the big things, good and bad. This is such a difficult journey, loving an addict. But I will say that it opens my eyes to the everyday miracles that so many take for granted. I hope you are approaching the holidays with sweet memories of your precious daughter. You remain in my thoughts and prayers along with all my friends at this site. Much love, Paula.

Thank you, Paula. November 4th is 9 months since she is gone. At times it just seems unreal. I plan to get in more volunteer work during the holidays, which as everyone knows, can be tough.

That is good news! One thing builds on another when someone is truly committed to change...

Happy Halloween palmtw! Thank you for the post! When you are an addict or you love an addict, it can  be easy to let the "little things" slip by without celebrating them. We sometimes forget how much we are accomplishing daily just by being sober and trying to stay that way.

God Bless You, Big Ron
