She is still on restriction but the director had her call to see if I coud get her a dr appointment. Evidently the antibiotic she is taking has caused a reaction and she has bumps all over her tongue. So I am picking her up and taking her to the dr this afternoon and then back to the sober house. The director told me she is fitting in very well and is very friendly to everyone and they love her. That's what everyone always says about her, why can't we ever see that side. I cautioned her that difficult child does not always take things seriously and does not do a lot of self reflection. She assured me that would change.
Then I got a very encouraging letter from her in the mail. She said she loves it there and the other women and so nice. There are a lot of young women like her and several older and she said it's nice to have both. She said she is learning so much and has never been so excited about being sober. She said there are a lot of rules and they have to get up at 7 am and on Tuesday and Thursday 5 am. They have group from 8:25 - 3:45, dinner at 5, outside meeting after dinner, then back to the house to watch movies and bed. Their day is much more structured than it was at the residential treatment center. She said she is very anxious to see us and loves us very much.
I know this is the honeymoon phase but I am encouraged that she has adjusted so well and is actually still there.
