[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 667705, member: 17269"] A short update....to my great surprise the PD's office called me last night and said that my son had turned himself in, and wanted to go back to the treatment center. They were going to pick him up. They did that...picked him up (after first trolling through every Starbucks in the neighborhood looking for him), then sat with him for re-entry, and made a variety of threatening and pleading and promising phone calls for him to be allowed back in. These people set a new bar for putting themselves out there. Huh. He went back. I was flagging a cab to go meet him, but he called on the PD's phone and said he felt overwhelmed, and would rather I waited till the weekend. The PD said he needed detox. He told her that he was on a bus with his girlfriend, and she kept wanting to stop and get high. And at some moment he realized that she just wanted his money (he gets SSI) and that he didn't want to get high and didn't want to be there...so he went back. This is a first for him...he has checked himself into hospitals before, but never in good weather, never so quickly, never with this tone. His story. His life. I"m going to practice what Cedar suggested.. This is my role today. His is to write his own story, win,lose, or draw (this is my favorite quote from a friend of mine who died in Iraq while serving his third VOLUNTEER tour as a physician). It's a good day. Help, Wow, and Thanks. Hugs to all, Echo [/QUOTE]
