[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 518384"] OK so it was a good conversation... not real long but it sounds like he has a plan at least. He has agreed to go to the smaller sober house...that was what he was thinking of doing as his roommate went there and he was someone he feels connected to. He plans to go see a therapist he saw when he was at the first sober house. This guy was originally his sponser and he really liked him then and then he was his therapist and then he seemed to want to switch therapists after he screwed up at that sober house. The fact that he wants to go back to him I think is a good sign... and when I asked him a bit more about it he said that before it was strange because he was both is therapist and his sponser.... what he wants is to have him as a therapist and then get a different sponser. That actually makes good sense to me... and this guy knows his history which I think is good. He said that he said at a group session that is biggest fear is himself. That he is feeling motivated right now but he knows he can lose that motivation (so very true) so he needs things to help him keep his motivation... like a sponser, like some structure. He also said knowing this is his one chance, and not wanting to be back on the street should help. I reiterated we were not going to go sober house shopping and he said he knew that and he seems to really know that. So he will probably be discharged on Monday.... I am waiting for the sober house guy to call me back. So I guess I better sleep well this weekend as after that we will kind of be waiting to see what happens next.... although at least I know he has a place to live and is not on the street for now.
