[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 681403, member: 15032"] Colleen the people on this forum and only this forum gave me the strength to give our son a choice. Rehab or shelter. We both were united on that front but I have to admit I was terrified he would not go to rehab but he did. We did not back down. I have felt both peace with him gone and sheer terror wondering what will happen next. Cleaned his room out; empty whiskey bottles, beer bottles, drug paraphernalia etc. Cigars (I think they roll weed in the tobacco or something and funny thing is he HATES smoking). Disgusting. Reminded me of a rat's nest however I have never really seen a rat's nest. My son too is sweet and kind when he is sober. When he uses pills he isn't mean but he steals and does things he would never do. I wake up every night in a cold sweat and can't turn my brain off. Right now he is sober. He is going out of state and we feel happy about this. We told him he could not come home after rehab. Again very HARD to say. I let hubby do it. Same situation, needs to be someplace else. Nothing changes if nothing changes. He is excited. I just got off the phone with the coordinator at his new home. They are members of the BBB and state licensed. I feel good right now but I'm scared. My husband and I are enjoying our peace but he is always on my mind. I look forward to a time when he isn't all I think about. You'll know when you are ready to push forward. I think in some ways they look to us to do this but they would never say that. [/QUOTE]
