Part of me is happy that he is starting over with a fresh, clean slate. But the other part of me worries that he is going to relapse. Worrying about his lying, stealing, & keeping my parents in constant fear, are some of the many things that I can't seem to shake off. Not to mention, the fear of losing him forever to his addiction.
All I can do is try my best to think positive and say a little prayer.

This is so healthy, babygirl, to keep it in perspective like this. Remember that whole "things that you can change, things you can't, and knowing the difference...."
Addiction is a scary thing and I hope for him and for your family that he can stay on the road to sobriety.
Much love.
