[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 680278, member: 15801"] Oh this is all so familiar. My son has been in and out of treatment since he was 14. Kathy I feel for you and totally understand your cynicism. I think the big advantage of sober living is they have a place to live, that is not your house and you are not doing something like signing a lease on an apartment which is too much of a risk in my opinion. So my son is 24. Like I said he has been in and out of rehab and treatment forever. Until last July he felt he did all that because someone else wanted him to do it (either us or the courts). Last July after living on his own, and working and we thought he wa a doing ok, he came to the conclusion he was miserable and admitted he was an alcoholic and wanted to stop. So we helped him get back into rehab. Now he has been in and out since then, and had a couple of relapses and is still struggling but the difference (I hope) is that I think this is now truly his struggle not mine. When he goes to rehab will it be a residential rehab? If so then when he is residential I would talk to the rehab about how you don't want him coming home tol live and tell him then. [/QUOTE]
