Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will let go of my anger. Anger is a danger to me. I know my son is acting out in his disease, but it is deliberate attack on me when he is defensive about his actions and tries to put the ownesses on me. Not sure if that is spelled right, it is the word that came to mind. This disease is cunning, baffling, and powerful. My son has barely touched on recovery in 5 treatment centers, but that isn't recovery, that is but a stepping stone. Many talk about the Steps, but for me that is just a glorified Step One. We don't detox in 6 weeks or months, it takes 11 months or more at least it was for me. I was one of the really sick ones.
