[QUOTE="Payla, post: 582255, member: 15160"] After a rough week with no luck getting into a sober house , after finishing detox, difficult child was at rock bottom wanting to get away from drug environment he was living in. He called me at work weeping and pleading for help. I am so conditioned to saying no to him over past 8 months that I had to remind myself he was asking for help to stay clean, not asking for money, so I made one call for a possible link to a sober house and within an hour he had a bed! I went to bring him a few things yesterday and he is grateful to be where he is. I was not thrilled to be back in helping role but he is the one who got himself to detox two weeks ago and I just couldn't turn my back on him. I pray now that he can make it work in the sober house. Al we both did was cry while i was there; just so heart wrenching.They have to get a job, follow the rules and go to NA meetings and are urine tested everyday. He has never been in any counseling or 12 step group and has always been so non compliant; all we can do is pray that this helps turn him around. We also now have his dog in basement since she won't get along with our two dogs. I will try to find her a foster home in another week or two, just waiting to see if he settles in there. [/QUOTE]
