[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 696741, member: 17720"] Ugh, RN. Just getting caught up on this thread. Well...I agree with everything you said. I agree that he needs to focus on his recovery. In my son's first rehab, they recommended that girlfriends not visit or have any contact for the first 30 days. Young men, raging hormones, chemical balance all screwy because of all the substances floating around...girlfriends can be a real distraction. But they are 20 and they know everything. The beer, I agree with you on that too. It is a hard thing to wrap your head around, when you're 20 or so. Alcohol is going to be there, at every turn...from parties to sitting home alone watching TV and having a Budweiser commercial come on. Either way I think they are afraid they are going to feel like a "freak." It's especially hard for them, and really not fair, and I think a 20 year old still has a real problem with "not fair." I am hoping this new environment will be a fresh start for him, RN. In the meantime, as hard as it is, try to focus on you. [/QUOTE]
