[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 695143, member: 18958"] I am pleased for your husband (and you) that your husband has this, Albatross. Thank you, Albatross. You know, I was not always this way. I was lackluster. And borderline lazy. That is one reason I have hope that our kids will change. Because I did. From a very average person to one who has pride in herself--in most things. I believe in high goals. (Which is reason to leave the job where I am.) With that I will shift the conversation back to my son. Today he seemed to look in earnest for treatment. I know he did because I got a call from my old insurance company where he mistakenly called. He eventually got linked up to the correct insurance and has a list of residential treatment programs and therapists here in my town. He says he will have a plan plus backup plans by Wednesday. (I had said the end of the week.) One thing that surprised me was that he remembered a religiously-oriented program that two years ago I had so much wanted him to go to. And he brought it up as a possibility. I am Jewish and he is not. The program is run by a Rabbi and it is spiritually based. I would absolutely be thrilled if he would go to this program. Because it is transformational. They will accept anybody (they say), with whatever problem, of any faith. My son has always mocked faith. I have always believed that he doth protest too much. I think he has the heart and mind to be deeply religious and spiritual. I will have to let go of how much I would want this. For me, and for him. Because I believe what our kids lack is not just recovery from illness, or drugs, but a way to be in the world that is meaningful for them and for others. [/QUOTE]
