My roommate’s son came by this afternoon to get some clothes and gear he had left here. I made him lunch, he got a shower, did laundry and had a nap. I took some pictures of them together. We gave him a ride back to Everett.
My roommate has been to 50+ meetings in the last 20 days. I shared that with her son on the way to Everett. I am sure he was glad to see his mom in recovery. Seeing and hearing her success has to give him some hope.
We dropped him off at a gas in NW Everett. He got out of the car, gave his mom a hug and said goodbye. We watched him walk a short block west into the sunset to the next crosswalk. His story was that he was going camping with a girl. Looked like he was going to the dopehouse to me. It was sad.
I started the car and we went the other way to go directly home. My roommate sniffed back a few tears and said “I hate this town”. She did the vast majority of her using in Everett/Snohomish County.
I am proud of my roommate for being the best mom and friend she could be to her 24 year old son that appears to be in active addiction to me.
I am grateful for the resources to be of service to others today. I am blessed to have a nice place to live, food, a car, and to be sober so that I can be of service to others.
