Drug abuse, jail time, stress, stress, stress.....

Today I am going to post about a personal issue that is causing me lots of stress and making me want to eat more then what I am hungry for. I am fighting the urge thanks to my pink drink but I find it crazy how life and its stresses play such a big part in my journey to become healthy.
My son, has been an addict for years. I don't think I really knew the extent to which he had gone until his arrest yesterday. He has been claiming he was clean for months now but the signs all pointed toward a different truth.
He has been in and out of trouble with the law and deep down I knew his lifestyle would eventually catch up with him. My thoughts were that he would end up dead or serving a large prison sentence, thankfully it will be the prison sentence that he will face. I kept telling myself that it wouldn't bother me if he got in trouble again due to the fact that he had been arrested many many times before but truth is, it hurts every time regardless of how I try to convince myself that it wont.
I have chosen to believe that maybe the prison sentence he will be handed will somehow straighten him out and he will come out a cleaner better person for himself and for his family. Making this decision has helped me to not stress eat and ruin all I have been working to obtain. To also help me along, I have made another goal to become healthier then ever while he is locked up so hopefully I will still have a few good years left to spend with him once he is that changed man that I know he can become.
