[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 736506, member: 1967"] Origami, I think you are right. We get our children back when they are no longer in active addiction. It was like the drugs had kidnapped them but the person we love was still in there waiting to be freed. Sadly, the only one that can free them is themselves. I am so glad to hear that your son is doing well. I still worry about how newly in recovery the boyfriend is but he is such a wonderful person that I am hoping and praying that he will be able to stay sober. I have talked with my daughter about my worries and she says that she understands that it is not her responsibility to keep him sober and that he is working the steps faithfully and has a sponsor that he turns to when he struggles. He lost an older brother to an overdose four years ago and just had to face the anniversary of the death last week. It was the first time he stayed sober on the anniversary of his brother's overdose. I called my daughter that night and she said the boyfriend was at a meeting with his sponsor. It does seem like he is really serious this time. But all any of us can do is stay cautiously optimistic.
