[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 694822, member: 15032"] My husband sent me this poem by text yesterday at lunch. Naturally I was teary when I was reading it; luckily I was alone. I actually had to relook to see WHO sent it. This is not like him; he doesn't do the feelings stuff. He then called me and told me he just had lunch with one of his sales representatives who sent it to him. It turns out they started talking and this guy had a huge problem with drugs and alcohol starting at age 16. His parents were very affluent. He spent many years in and out of many rehabs. His mother was going to NA to learn how to "deal with his death". She was sure he was going to die from his addiction. He is now 29 and the job he has working at the company my husband works at is his FIRST job. He is engaged to be married. His fiancee drinks socially but he does not drink or smoke. He's fine with her drinking. He is doing very well and is already getting promoted. He got sober when his parents STOPPED. Stopped giving him money and stopped enabling him. My husband told me we are doing the right thing. I wanted to share this with everyone here. [/QUOTE]
