[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 399198, member: 59"] I do believe that there comes a point where you have learned all you can in rehab and it's time to start putting it into practice. I know our difficult child would not have benefitted from staying in rehab longer. She got the tools she needed to stay sober and it was time she put it into practice. All of the sober homes we have around here are located on bus routes for a reason. Most of the residents do not have access to a car for various reasons, many have suspended licenses. Their sense of entitlement is something else, my difficult child would never dream of getting on a bus and would rather walk. I grew up taking city buses, had to take 4 different buses each way just to get to high school. I went to college in town so took buses there and then to work and back home every day. I know it's a different time now and unless you live in the city, there is limited bus service. But our kids, especially difficult child, believe it is our duty to provide them with a car. I think you are doing the right thing. He needs to show you that he is working the program. This is make it or break it time and I truly hope he makes it. We have been through all the highs and lows of sobriety here and it's good that he is far away and has to do this on his own. I know you would help in any way you could if he was working his program and living sober. Nancy [/QUOTE]
