[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 481831, member: 831"] Great point, Nancy. Someone who is sincerely working their program would understand they have to earn the trust of their family back. It took years of sobriety for my brother to earn our family's trust back. He's been sober eight or nine years now and I saw my Mom take take that final trust step; she financed a clean used car for him. But, not after grilling my sister, who is close to him, and me as to what we thought about it. After being in jail and thieving and drugging for years on the street, the guy got back with his wife (she waited for him!), has held a steady job for years, and is now great father to three daughters (one who is autistic and will never live on her own). It took a long, long, time, and he still regularly attends AA meetings. [/QUOTE]
