[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 680543, member: 15032"] Thanks ladies. He sounded better today about being there. He doesn't like it but seems more accepting. I have not brought up sober living yet or after plan situation and I'm terrified to deal with him on this subject. Here I go but after talking today I now feel GUILTY for not [B]wanting [/B]him home. He sounded so sweet. It was nothing he said it's just my mind playing tricks on me I think. It's so nice not having to worry about if he's drinking or whatever the hell he's been doing. Peace at last. Tough Love - Don't worry my friends think we should keep him out of our home. They worry about my sanity. They have all known him since he was a baby but are freaked out by my stories. I have been to alanon meetings a few times in the past. In a way it gets me more depressed but I get what you mean about people in same situation. I just leave feeling downer than when I got there I think. It's a club I don't want to be in ;-( He said food is awful, everything they make is "scoopable". Had to laugh at that. Complained he hadn't seen counselor yet and has been in since Monday afternoon so I called and left a message to find out what is going on. He said he wants to be sober but then gets the benzos and thinks he can handle it and then he doesn't remember what he does and we're sober and we do. Uh huh that's right. [/QUOTE]
