[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 756749, member: 18958"] Hi Beta. I think about you all the time and pray that there is peace, safety and health in your home right now. Who could have imagined when Josh came home, that our world would come crashing down as it has? To answer your question, as to whether the sober living home was my son's choice, the answer is yes and no. What led to this was that we decided (and finally followed through) to cut off all help with food, even. My son was using his SSI money to buy his substances, and then after a week or 10 days into the month, would have nothing to live on. And he turned into a beggar. We stopped buying food, loaning money, or any other things. And with this, within a day or two, he entered the sober living home. It was his choice. But heavily weighted by external reality as opposed to choice. However, he could also have gone homeless in the metro near us, and that he did not, fills me with gratitude. I cannot imagine right now having to deal with this Coronavirus at the same time as he was on the street and so very vulnerable. I pray that you and your family and everybody stays healthy and safe. And me too. [/QUOTE]
