[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 401612"] Nancy, I think it is a good sign she did this and took the initiative. I know you can't get your hopes up but it does show that at least a good part of her really wants to succeed. She may relapse and may again have to get to that point where she realizes that while she is drinking she is making it impossible for herself to succeed.... but the fact that a part of her wants to get her life together is a big plus. I also agree that every job has its pitfalls... some are worse than others... like bar tending for example...but ultimately it cannot be your worry if the job is safe from substance abuse opportunities. It is her life and she has to figure it out. I keep telling myself at this point my son is on HIS journey, my journey is mine. Anyway I am really hoping this is the first step for her. [/QUOTE]
