You don't remember "normal" but you do still know how to feel. You love your kids-that's feeling. You get frustrated-that's feeling. You get happy-that's feeling. You feel peace-that is feeling.

His struggle isn't over yet, rehab is just the start. That's why I emailed you that file. I felt it would help you along with your CR materials. Keep looking up and you'll have the best guidance around on how to deal with things-moment by moment, day-by-day.

Are you feeling just a bit lost this Christmas with him gone to rehab and no contact? Christmas is stressful for so many anyhow-so the holiday could be part of it too. New Year's is coming up...will he be home by then? Are the kids going out with you?

Molly, with all you have taken on like a true warrior, look at how far you've come in the battle already. Time flew by. You are strong and you are going to do fine and so is he.

Just for today...

Focus on now, and not so much the future. Face things as they happen. Keep your knowledge up-to-date on how he might be feeling and doing. When you go visit at rehab they will be a great help also.

I'm proud of you Molly and your husband. You know my prayers are going to continue for you all.

Hugs, Love, Prayers, and belated Merry Christmas,

PS: Try and gratitude list/journal. Also, because you know the peace of God, you do know peace....I see you know thankfulness. You know more than you think you do already. This is some nerves setting in.
