Another heartfelt thank-you all who left a comment or emailed me regarding my last post. I'm really grateful for your words of support and comfort and for the personal info you've shared with me. 

I found a wonderful Ala-non group that is for parents of chemically dependent children. It meets on Monday evening - last Monday was my first time to attend. I'm going again tonight. It is the place for me to be right now.

I also found another Ala-non meeting that meets on Friday nights and have been there twice. Last Friday I made a great connection there with a guy who attends because of his son's addiction. We talked for a long time after the meeting. It was good.

I am knitting - at least a little everyday. I know I don't have to explain to you what comfort and peace I find in  focusing on nothing but those two sticks and the string. For some reason though, I haven't been able to motivate myself to write or take and post pictures of my knitting...it seems kind of silly and inconsequential.
