[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 747573, member: 19832"] Laura, It's good to hold onto hope while being realistic. Heaven knows many of us here don't get to much to celebrate with our difficult children, so celebrate what you can. Relapse and missteps are a part of recovery. My situation is similar to yours, I think. My 33 year old son just finished a residential program and moved into a sober house. I was supportive and cautiously optimistic while he was there. He moved into a sober house this week. Unfortunately, I already hear a little edge in his attitude. Keeping my distance and saying prayers. Besides or because of his substance and personality issues, he missed so many development building blocks and doesn't have good life skills. He's really much more like a teenage than an adult. It sounds as though your son is gaining some awareness, which is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
