[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 535000"] This new place was a referral from the place he was at. It is actually a psychiatric hospital setting!! I talked to him yesterday because he needs money for cigs. LOL. Then he called again last night and we had a good conversation. He says it is really boring.... but of course he arrived on the Friday of a long weekend so a lot of the groups are not happening. The other thing he said which might be kind of disconcerting to him is that most of the other patients are women my age. LOL.....I told him that he is there to really work on himself and maybe this way he wont get distracted by young attractive women..... of course it worried me and I started thinking oh no this isn't right. Then I thought wait a minute maybe he will get that he doesn't want to waste another 30 years before dealing with the issues that make him do the things he does. There is a real advantage to being young. His attitude was also good for him...he was keeping an open mind, was not angry or upset, just kind of waiting to see what happens next week. Which says to me he is really sober for one thing.... So I am anxious to hear how things go next week. Meanwhile I know he is safe and that always helps me sleep. TL [/QUOTE]
