[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 385719"] Not too nosey at all. Thank you for caring and thinking of us!!! I called today to find out how he was doing. I talked with one of the therapists and he is doing pretty well. Might be a bit of the honeymoon stage but he seems to be connecting with the residents with a positive attitude rather than those who are more resistant. That is a plus right there. He also said he had some kind of epiphany and she had the feeling he had managed to turn his own mood. He did not need detox. That was the good news. Even though he has tried a bunch of different drugs, including a bunch of pain killers and possibly worse he was not to the point where he was physically addicted to anything to the point of needing detox. Plus he had been in jail for 2 weeks and I don't think had anything while he was there. He is allowed to have his cell phone there (they will monitor who he is talking to and address that if he is talking t his old druggie friends). So he has texted me a couple of times. I asked him how it was going and he said it was all right. Well that is like saying it is wonderful because normally he would tell me how much it sucked. So I take that as a good sign. I am doing much better. I am sleeping. I am starting to be able to focus on work. I am more relaxed. It put into perspective how awful the last couple of weeks have been really. I really don't think any mother should have to see her kid in jail. Although I am glad it happened because it is a strong motivator for him. I really like the fact that the court is now holding the heavy hammer so I don't have to. [/QUOTE]
