[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 683367, member: 15032"] This was a vacation planned and paid for well before my son ended up in Florida. I had NO CLUE at that time he'd ever end up in sober living in Florida. If you had told me that, I wouldn't have believed it! Mainly because the thought of our son not living at home with us was just so foreign and did not seem possible. I have a different mindset now thankfully. We wouldn't think of not seeing him for a short visit when we are there. He is actually in intensive outpatient at this point and goes 3 days per week which they organize. I probably won't see him again until Thanksgiving (I don't get a lot of vacation time) and my husband will drive down there to get him into the dorm in Fort Myers in August if all goes as planned. We have always been very close to our son. He is the result of our union although we both have another son from our former marriage. I think he wants to show us how good he's doing. He couldn't wait to tell us about his job when he got it and I want to ride that positive wave for this visit too. He does not want to be home which is good. He misses us and the dogs but doesn't really seem to be homesick at all. It would be awful if he was. GoingNorth thanks for sharing. I think that is very responsible for your doctor to prescribe one day at a time to most. My son is on Effexor and says it helps but obviously nothing works as well and fast as a benzo but he knows he cannot handle them and that is his weakness and his battle. I can't stop him; he has to stop himself. [/QUOTE]
