When my son was in treatment I remember them talking about how unhealthy it was to continue friendships with those you were in treatment with.
My son also had some serious setbacks while there when he developed a crush on a girl who was on another team. He broke many rules to talk to her, or walk with her, and didn't care about the consequences. His counselors were shocked at his behavior. Basically, he was obsessed with her, kind of like he gets when he wants to use drugs. I do not know her doctor, but a relationship with someone like her could be detrimental to his recovery, no?
He has been home now for nearly 2 months. We have a home contract and hes been doing well. He recently earned the right to have a cell phone again. (We continue to retain all passwords and it has no internet access) I had done well to not go snooping....thanks to Alanon, I know that will do me no good. UNTIL yesterday, he got his phone taken away for the night because he was on it after he was supposed to shut down for the night.
All his texts had been erased but there are 3 contacts I am pretty worried about...
1. A boy from his team in rehab that hes talked about quite a bit.
2. Someone named "Emergency contact" that he calls a LOT.
3. A girl, M with an out of state number. 97% sure its the girl from rehab!
Should I get worried??
