Well where to begin, the last 2 weeks have been busy and at times still drama filled.
I spoke to a friend about the fella I have been helping, she said to run, he will never stay sober, I know I don't need this in my life, I've made a difference to him, I don't know where this will lead and for now were just friends. I stayed at his place for the last week to be there as support for his withdrawal, his slip up has only been 12 days so all in all its not to bad, except his liver wasn't coping at all and he turned jaundice. He redid his blood work and his bilirubin was 250. His specialist told him to go to Emergency asap, so off we went, 9.5 hours later we came out with maybe what he needed to hear, he is in early stages of cyrosis of the liver, he can never drink again unless he has a death wish, also the steroids he miss used have also caused damage to his liver. He has been sober for a week and a day.
I came home Thursday as I have things to do. He hugged me and said he truly believes I was his guardian angel sent to make him see just what he was doing to himself. He said he didn't think there were such kind people still on this earth, I pull no punches and tell it as I see it, I told him what he was doing was killing himself, and his children did not deserve to stand by and watch what he was doing to himself. His Son has thanked me numerous times for helping his father. He said I just couldn't deal with it right now, poor kid had exams at college and needed to concentrate, I told him it shouldn't be his issue, he and his sister should be reason enough for his Dad to be a better parent and person.
So today I look forward to spending a few hours with my grandson, he is such a beautiful child, so loving and easy going, tells me several times during his visit that he loves me. We are going to be painting and baking today, he is the calm in my recent storm.
I will be visiting my friend tomorrow, he is making me dinner after me being there for him the last 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to a dinner prepared by someone else. What will be will be, one day at a time.
I also joined the gym across the road from me I'm looking forward to starting a routine again, I've missed this in my life and its how this blog started in the first place. Maybe I'll post more often now.
