Posted this on the Families/Friends Board too:
Hi Guys,
Not going to go into any detail but the legal stuff will begin on Monday in regard to K and that 20 year old boyfriend of hers, remember K is only 15...please hold me up to be a strong, sober, dignified woman in the courtroom (my Sponsor will be with me). Thank you all so very much.
Geri...I will pray for you and always have you in my thoughts...Taking the steps you have to help your daughter has shown your courage, strength, integrity, and love...you are working a program..the results are up to God...just keep doing what you are doing...A year and a half ago I had to get a restraining order and press charges against a sociopath that I dated...I brought a good friend with me to court...it was nerve-wracking and scary but I prayed and through the hearing remained calm, strong, and "together"...I was shaking inside but no one knew...God gave me the strength and the courage to get through it...God does what we can't...and friends/sponser hold our hands while we do what we have to do...Knowing I wasn't alone spiritually and physically gave me what I needed...to let go of the fear and anger...The judge and all the official people in the courtroom were impressed at how calm and collected I was...I am with you...and always a phone call away...{{{HUG}}} Love Gina
Geri...
I will say extra prayers for you on Monday as I keep you & yours in my daily prayers...You do show how the program works and I am so blessed that you share your journey so openly which in turn, allows me to learn...thank you...
Gina's post really nails it (she's got an amazing way with words) and just know you are where you are supposed to be, give it to God and he'll take care of the outcome...
Hope you are doing well and taking a few moments to treat yourself...Miracles are already occuring for you with this situation with your daughter and I'm glad you have the courage to continue foward....
(((hugs)))

hope all goes well for you VWGirl. Will be thinking of you.
Thanks Ladies, Once again it was posted what I really needed to read...I'm a little tired. Didn't get in from the rehab program last night until 11:40 pm, went to a Women's stag meeting and took my last birthday cake today, and then did a little xmas shopping...am home now and going to try to shut down the committee that is shouting in my head right now.
Hi Vw.....I will have your family in my prayers for Monday. I know what you mean about the damn committee. Sometimes I just wanna scream "Shut the Hell up!!""" Hope you have a nice rest and congrats on yet another birthday cake for your sobriety! You rock!
My head is loud right now............you know what I mean Val........however, my oldest daughter is on her way over...it will keep me from being in isolation mode tonight.....thanks so much for your prayers....I pray for you and everyone here on the board pretty much daily....Geri
I'm glad your other daughter is coming to be with you. I find that if I am alone the noise works double time. Hope you two have a great night together my friend.

Hey VWGirl
Keep the faith as up until now you have had some sort of input into the proceedings as things have been going along. Now all of a suden there is none and it is down to what other people think and a sometimes less than desirable legal system and at the end of it all there is K's reaction as well.
So i can understand your anxiety and only you have the tools too counter it, don't drink or drug and go to meetings, rely on all the people who rely on you and have faith in God.
You are responsible for others yes..but that is no good if you are mind f ing yourself with all the what ifs and hows and whys. Whatever happens you have to be strong in your recovery because addiction is looking for an in and it is sensing that there is a window unlocked somewhere in your distress.
Know that you are loved and respected and prayed for by so many people on and off these boards, build up a wall of gratitude and forget about monday because that means nothing if addiction has it's way.
I know you are handing it over and keep taking it back, just keep chucking the bstard back Gods a good catcher and he misses nothing ....
Sometimes in surfing you have to let a lot of waves go because deep down you know the big one is coming,have patience VW and trust in your ability to ride that wave when it comes.
Light and love Zac

Put your feet up and have a coffee and build your energy and if you ever do slow down make sure that you have a break of 2 or more weeks because the first 4 days your body will be in shock because its not busy, busy, busy and then the next 3 days you will be that tired you will need the next week to recover from that.
Take it easy, easy does it
