Found this site today and thought back over the many times, I have experienced an awakening in my own life.
One of the biggest for me was that my son had his own Higher Power and the biggest awareness was that I wasn't it. His recovery had to be found and worked his way and I had to detach and allow him to find his own way.
Knowing I was as powerless over his disease as I was over my own was another awakening that allowed me a lot of peace of mind. As I heard someone say, I will turn him over my Higher Power who hopefully will in turn, speak to his Higher Power, so he may find his own way.
