Vacations are tough!

Vacations can be very difficult times for the family of an addict.  There is more down time and many more opportunities to not trust or wonder what your child is doing when they're not at home.  This is just one more opportunity to let go and let God.  I have to let him make his own decisions; good or bad.  There are people in this goofy small town that are so far into the drug world that they don't want someone who has been addicted to walk away from it.  Dan has 26 more days until he leaves for school.  I am praying that he makes wise decisions and can have a fresh start at a new college.  I have to trust and sometimes that's harder than others.  I am learning to walk through each day slowly and patiently.
