[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 388811, member: 59"] I was hoping you would post an update as I've been thinking about you. It's great that he is working on himself with no distractions. Our counselor told us that our difficult child's should not be callingn us everyday and if they were then they weren't focusing on what they should be, and when they did call we should make it very short and light. Of course I was always wondering how things were really going but since we were up there every Sunday for program we pretty much knew. I know exactly how peaceful it is to come home and how good you sleep at night now. It was truly a remarkable feeling. That's when I decided I would never go back to the way things were. I am thrilled that he seems to be accepting the program. The process is ghorrible but in the end it is the best thing that could happen to your family. I remember the day we missed our family reunion because difficult child came home at 4am drunk again and we took he in to be evaluated at an outpatient treatment facility which ultimately led us to her inpatient treatment. It was the worst day of my life, I had not slept and was up all night crying and researching treatment. But I say now that that day was the beginning for us. Without going through that day we would still be living in chaos trying to figure out what to do. Your son is doing hard work. He is dealing with emotions and issues that he has buried for a long time. He has been given a gift. I wish him well in his recovery. Nancy [/QUOTE]
