[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 528886, member: 13882"] AG, Everything I'm hearing about maintaining sobriety, esp. in the early stages, is that you just don't come home to people, locations or emotions that trigger relapses, no matter how strong you may think you are. As far as school is concerned, if he comes home to go to school and then relapses, he won't be able to handle school anyway. He has a lot of decisions coming up, and will probably seek counselors' suggestions. I'm sure he could get a loan or just take a few classes at a community college and work while in school. The great thing is he's going to lots of meetings and making sober friends - so he's trying so hard, he must want to get well. He's sober but fragile, so you are fragile, too. Take care of yourself as best as you can in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
