[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 64275, member: 27"] Okay, I'm really going to date myself ... but what comes to mind is that old commercial ... You've come a long way, baby! [img]:smile:[/img] You sound wonderful - happy, yet cautiously optimistic, with plans in place. I'm so excited for you that your son is coming home. He's come a long way, as well. [img]:bravo:[/img] Yes, you'll definitely have to be on guard, but with substance abusers, that's something they/us have to live with for the rest of their/our lives. Sad, but true. Staying away from old "drug" friends is the key. If they revert back to old patterns (hanging with the old druggie friends), they are more likely to revert back to old habits. As for the money, when my son got out and started working, he handed over his paychecks to us for that first year home and we kept his money. For him/us, it worked. It was a gaining trust issue and we just wanted to make sure he was ready for that kind of responsibility and accessibility of funds. That's something you and your husband will have to decide, with input from your son. Sending many good thoughts and mega hugs your way, my friend. I'm just tickled. Keep us posted. Deb [/QUOTE]
