[QUOTE="joysheph, post: 739717, member: 21496"] Recently we installed cameras and had a few episodes of son trying to get inside. One time my youngest son was home and asked him you know your not supposed to be doing that. My youngest informed him there are cameras and we see everything. Next visit he asked if he had any mail. I gave him water and snacks and closed the doors. We decided to not go out of town for the holidays for fear of him breaking in. Today on this visit he advised us he is tired of drugging and has a meeting at 8:30 tonight for Oxford house. He plans to go to AA and has several job interviews. He asked if he could do laundry and my husband said yes. He has been here for a few hours and we argued for the most part. But then I realized my boundaries. I told him I hope he follows thru his plans. He told me he has to do things his way and he needs family support. I don't know how or what are we to do? I fear of getting swallowed back in and he fails at sobriety. I fear he will lean on me to much to stay clean when I have explained that he must do it for him. I dont really know how to show support when honestly i dont trust or believe him I told him its easy to be sober when broke. I don't know what action i should take without taking it over? I know he must do it. Joysheph [/QUOTE]
