Maybe the feelings I have been having is the Recovery Roller Coaster.
Not knowing what is around the bend. More good things, or back to bad things.
I apologize for rambling and hijacking other posts, if I have done that... LOL
Part of it is the aftermath of exhaustion, the knowing of how bad this can get, and the fear of not wanting to go back to those dark places again.
Its a wild ride. Keep posting . This is why I here.looking for advice ,trying to figure out what worked or doesn't work for others.
NYTOFLORIDA,
I feel exactly what you are feeling. My daughter was in sober living, and things were looking up. I found out last night, she's been using all week and lying to everyone about it. She checked herself into detox for heroin. She's relapsed three times in two months. I am exhausted.
I would love to get off this roller coaster too. My sleep has been terrible for two months, and I'm waiting for that call in the middle of the night. This has been a three year struggle for me so far, and my daughter is only 18. The potential for this to go on a long time is daunting.
I've really enjoyed reading your posts, so I know you've really made some great strides in your own recovery from co-dependency. Hopefully, I'll be able to detach one day. It's the hardest thing I've ever done.

We can all relate to those feelings. I am glad you are posting! We all learn from each post.
