[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 716370, member: 15032"] Thank you all. So overwhelmed by everyone's love, support and wisdom. An update: On Friday after work I was very stressed (hubby too). Had some wine and fell asleep. Woke up at 2am with bad feeling. Looked and saw I had 2 texts from girlfriend at 11pm that he was in hotel room inhaling duster and was threatening to kill himself if she did not go see him. I texted her immediately and she said he was in a psychiatric hospital. Whew. I called her and found out she went to the hotel and called the police. They talked to him and had him Bakered (I think that's the term). She said room was a mess like he was throwing stuff and she saw a bottle of prescription made out to him for Klonopin for 60 pills that was filled 7/31 (he left sober living 8/1) and was empty. There was some mention of Xanax as well. Long story short we talked to him a few times yesterday (he called) and I was very angry and I was not nice. I do regret some of that now. He's kind of out of it so what was I thinking? He kept asking "what pills". I do not think he remembers. It's tragic. He is worried about his job. Anyway his girlfriend had to take a step back yesterday. She is very stressed and needs to take care of herself. She is leaving for college next week. He called last night gently begging to come home saying he needs his family and he obviously cannot make it in Florida. We told him we love him and that he is ill and needs to get help and coming home is not an option (stab in our hearts). The rehab is ready to pick him up today. He has no where else to go and that is where he needs to be. I spoke to the program director who I think is awesome (late 20's former addict and very compassionate to all of us). He also has talked to son's girlfriend and felt it was good she stepped back. He said he needs to be there whether he wants to be or not. So that's where we are today. What a week it has been. I don't know what it will take for him to get it. He is safe now though. After he is there for a while we are thinking of moving him closer to home but not in OUR home. Maybe a program in Indiana or Michigan or something so we can see him more often. We do not want to enable him of course. Not sure what the right thing to do is. [/QUOTE]
