[QUOTE="startingfresh, post: 763590, member: 22380"] Hello brokeninside, I really hope rehab works for your son and he sees that he can have a life other than the one he was living. I feel we are on a similar path with our sons. Mine is 23 and entered detox and a residential program for alcohol abuse for the 2nd time Dec 1. He is now in sober living and PHP. Although, the fact that he is back in treatment again could make me think the first go was a failure, I force myself to view it differently. He made great progress 2 years ago and completed 12 weeks of rehab. But it is slow journey forward with lots of backward steps. He has learned what to do differently, what worked, and that options were dwindling with each bad decision. I try to view it also as Copa said, " not usually life and death" but a piece of the ongoing struggle. We are working hard this time around to not only support him where he is today but to help him have a plan for what next. That is what tripped him up before. Its an incredibly hard balance between him being in the moment in treatment but also looking forward to put concrete plans in place. I am sending prayers and positive thoughts for you and your son.🙏 [/QUOTE]
