[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 375078, member: 179"] I talked to J the other night. He sounds pretty rough. It was a nice chat, though. H was working so he could talk openly. Oddly enough, his girlfriend has a son just 5 years younger than J. J is disgusted with him and calls him a lazy SOB who sleeps til noon, won't get a job, let alone take the trash out. I just paused and said, "Ain't parenting fun?" He was smart enough to make the connection to himself and profusely aplogized for all has put our family through. I just said water under the bridge. Focus on YOURSELF and getting your life on track. Make use of the opportunity provided to you. He talked about going out and getting a job ASAP, even though he's vomiting every few minutes from detox. I told him to FOCUS ON YOURSELF first. If you dive in headfirst right now you'll get frustrated and the temptation to use again will come back. Now, if I can get H to recognize that, there might be a glimmer of hope. H has a tendency to push, push, push when what you need is some space to recover. I guess time will tell. Abbey [/QUOTE]
