[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 634372, member: 17720"] Thank you, wisest moms I know. It is priceless just to be able to say things here, and know that someone who understands hears them. This would be unbearably lonely otherwise. MWM, my post was poorly worded. I suspected he was drinking or getting ready to and told him I thought he needed to go to a meeting. He has not gotten his first paycheck yet and had no gas in his car. husband let him use our car to go to the meeting because it had half a tank. Somehow he had money to get blotto after the meeting and go on a drunken joyride in our car, even though he had no money for gas. But you are right, I should not ever have let him drive the car. I should have never let him move back in. I am just so desperate that I refuse to see reality. COM, you are right. He is not done cookin' yet. It would be nice for ME to know that he is back where he had a few months of sobriety and that he has a job, but that doesn't make those things important to HIM. I guess the good thing about the breathalizer is it takes the emotion out of the decision. He has a chance to detox here and keep his job and at least he'll be out in a week. If he doesn't take it, he goes to detox and he's out now and maybe lands in a better situation. Either way I need to distance myself from his decisions and put the focus back on relationships that provide more support. [/QUOTE]
