[QUOTE="saving grace, post: 109447, member: 1538"] This is part of the process, My son and others have all said the same things, and Jmama he means them "right now" He has alot of time to think he hates where he is he is seeing how great he had it. BUT BUT BUT its what he actual retains from being there and what he does with his life when he leaves. My son was in many rehabs said what your son is saying every time every single time. Then when he got out he tried to live up to his words but for one reason or another he went back. Addiction is a powerful powerful thing, right now it has control over your son, he has to become stronger than the addiction and stay stronger, it will be a power struggle his whole life, every day he has to wake up and say to himself "Today I am stronger than my addciton and I will not use" If he sees his "old friends" what will he do? If he has a "bad day" what will he do? These are things they will try to teach him, if he retains it then it will help him, if he sits there and just goes through the motions of the program till his "time" is up then he will leave there the same way he went in with the exception of being high. I find it very hard very hard to believe that if he was doing OC's for 2 months before he went in that he didnt get sick. he may be in more denial than you think. For right now take it Day by Day, dont put too much hope into what he says, just keep telling him that you love him and will support him if he is doing the right thing. Do not enable him, do not change what you say and feel based on anything he is saying right now. It will only set you up for disappointment. His actions when he gets out will show you if you can trust him. Missing his kids holidays is the very least of his problems right now. Has harsh as that sounds he has other things to worry about. if he is taking this seriously then he will realize that. Grace [/QUOTE]
