[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 727016, member: 15032"] Thanks ladies. Actually they have a work program for the last 5 months of his program there where they live in a separate step up house on the property and work off site. So I am sure that is their version of sober living. Remember he is in a faith based program and they do not have AA meetings etc. It is all spiritual and I am so very good with that. They save their money so when they graduate the program they have money for an apartment or down-payment on a car. It is usually several thousand dollars. He has never asked to leave the program. If he wanted to, he could have by now. The guy that graduated last month had left but returned when he realized he made a mistake. He sent us a very beautiful letter a few weeks ago that addressed all of our concerns. It was an amazing letter and something that I could have only dreamed about months ago. Every time I read it it brings tears to my eyes. He is definitely starting to think clearly and understand everything that has happened. He actually said he is grateful that he is there which will give him time to heal which he admits he has never done. We will see where this path takes us. Everyone there says he is doing very well and he has grown and matured a lot. I cannot expect perfection from him because that will never happen. He has ten more months of healing to go and then we'll see where he is and where we are. I am staying optimistic and hoping that this time it sticks! They work with them to find a church where they will be living and plan their next steps. It is up to him to tell us what his plans are. He has to figure this out. [/QUOTE]
