[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 556369"] I remember at some point after my son was out of the house how I stopped wanting to go to work Monday mornings!!! Not because anything had changed at work but because I was enjoying being home so much!! Before that I couldnt wait until Mondays so I could get out of the house and all the tension that was there with my son. I am with Nancy I never want to go back to the stress of having my son using drugs and living here... it is nice to have home be a place I enjoy being!! I also agree that a recovery house is the best place after rehab. I think relapse is very common and he will need a lot of support to stay sober. He will also need to be pretty committed to it himself and that will be the real question. My son has been in several rehabs, several sober houses and has been kicked out of several sober houses... because he was using again. I dont think he himself has ever really been committed to being sober, it has always been how can he fool the system so he has a place to live. He now I am sad to say is living who knows where, very possibly on the street. So i would look for a sober house with a caring environment, that is not too large and one that is serious about recovery and has lots of structure and support. There is a wide range of sober houses out there.. some really good and some not so good. TL [/QUOTE]
