[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 377217, member: 59"] DDD she just moved into the step down house today. She gets a few more privilegs, they get to go on outings and to outside AA meetings. She also gets her cell phone back (yikes I'm not ready for that and will be talking to her counselor Sunday before I am ready to do that). Instead of all the educational lectures she now goes to meditation, art therapy, recovery group on how to prevent relapse, yoga, and some other things I don't know about yet. She still has group and individual therapy. While there she has to find her home AA group and start making contacts to find a sponsor. I am very impressed with this program. They know recovery. Most of the people who work there are in recovery themselves and this is serious to them. After the wing she gets moved to a halfway house with a housemother. She talked to the housemother yesterday to apologize for stealing the bracelets. The housemother is the one who made them. She asked of she could help her make some to repay for those she stole. The housemother was very supportive and told her she was very proud that she confessed and would be happy for her help. Her one last girlfriend from home, Michelle, is visiting her tomorrow and bringing her boyfriend and his mother who is a recovered alcoholic and drug addict. They all live a substance free life and want Jessica to know it's possible. She has offered to be difficult child's co-sponsor but since she lives about an hour away she needs one closer too. We go back Sunday for another family program day. I'm hopeful about what I am hearing from her. We've had some real honest talks and she sounds more clear headed than I have ever heard. Yet I know the chance of relapse is always out there. Nancy [/QUOTE]
