[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 502971, member: 59"] Kathy, The peacefulness when they are truly in recovery is so wonderful to see, it can't be faked, it is real. In the beginning when difficult child was in the sober house I was so so worried about her seeing guys from the other sober houses or from her AA meetings. I thought it would be disaster and wanted her to meet guys that didn't have addiction problems. And then it finally dawned on me that of course she was going to become interested in guys that were in recovery just like her. Then recently when she started seeing this guy who was a friend of a co-worker I panicked because I realized he would obviously not be living a sober life and difficult child would be in situations where she would be around alcohol. So I found myself laughing at coming full circle. And now I realize that if she is going to become involved with a guy he would have to be in recovery like her. But I know what you mean, it is a worry either way. It sounds good Kathy. Her attitude has changed quite a bit from first going in there. Nancy [/QUOTE]
