Meet The New Normal

Have your ever heard the phrase “Be careful what you wish for - it may come true!”

That is exactly what happened when Craig completed his meth rehab.

And it was kind of weird - because he was no longer “the bad boy.”

Instead of ME being the good one …

WE WERE NOW THE GOOD ONES.

Very interesting and definitely a change of pace for us.

But I was ready for it -

Ready to meet the new normal.

A normal where Craig was able to deal with his emotions.

A normal where Craig made healthy choices.

A normal where Craig was responsible.

Some people in our lives still won’t accept our new normal.  Like his very own mother, and brother.  Even some of his old friends. And it’s kind of sad!  But we are staying healthy and strong.  Confident in our new normal of healthy and responsible choices.

    Recovery can bring big changes in a relationship. Glad things are working out for you and your husband.

    I’m working on my Blogroll for Bloggers in Recovery. May I add you? It’s not a link exchange, so nothing expected in return. Please let me know.

    Thanks.
