[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 607441, member: 27"] Tammy, thanks so much. Yes, he truly has turned things around. He is the one that asked for the help 3-1/2 years ago, and he went inpatient to detox and then stayed for two weeks. After that, he found a nearby Alano Club (an AA type social place that holds AA meetings but also has social events like cards on Friday nights, football games on the tv there, golf outings and even a softball team in a league with other Alano Clubs and AA groups so it's a totally sober league) and has been going ever since. At first, he went often. He now goes once a week on Saturday evenings and is the one that sets up the club and introduces the speaker for the evening, etc. He has a very committed sponsor and they talk at least 4-5 days a week. Janet, thank you so much. Our boys sure put us through the wringer. OMG, between ant and my difficult child, there were entire weekends they'd be missing and we'd be online propping each other up. I don't know how we made it through those years, quite honestly. I remember ant lost his license and paid dearly in fines and time, as did my son. It's great to hear that ant is also doing better. My hope is that they have learned how precious something like driving is, and never do anything to jeopardize it again. Sigh. A mom can hope. ;) My son got his official restricted license today after work! He had to get the breathalyzer thing installed, take a written test, get a permit, then arrange for a parking and road test. He passed everything and picked up his license today. Tomorrow morning at 5:15 am, he will drive himself to work for the first time in 8 years! Thanks again for all the good thoughts and support. Truly appreciate each and every one of you. Deb [/QUOTE]
