[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 683815, member: 59"] Worried, add me to being worried about him being influenced by the girlfriend. He has just completed detox, hasn't even begun rehab. He is in a very vulnerable place. We had that problem when our daughter went into rehab and was still connected to the boyfriend. As soon as she got out he was back in her life and she relapsed shortly after that. She was young, 19. We called his parents, who we knew from them both being in high school together, and explained that their son was not helping in her recovery. At the time I would have done anything I could to break them up. Eventually they did break up and eventually she stopped using drugs, but continues to drink and that is a problem as far as I'm concerned. There isn't much you can do here. He will do what he will do. I am surprised the rehab gives him back his phone this early. I was too invested in my daughter's recovery also, but I couldn't let go at that age. I have finally learned the art of loving detachment. But she is not almost 25 and I can't manage her life anymore. This is so hard, it would truly be a miracle if he came out of rehab the first time and never relapsed. This is a process, try to prepare yourself for that. But each time he is a new chance to succeed. [/QUOTE]
