[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 730176, member: 18958"] Hi. Laura. I can only say this. My own son did the same. He saw programs as flophouses to utilize for short term housing. He still does. Except this time is a little bit different; he went to the sober living for housing. That is true. But I think he no longer wants to tolerate the extremities of life that he encounters away from a program. The homelessness and couch surfing. Us throwing him out. The house leader there is in his sixties. He said this. It may not be consoling to you but I believe it is real. He said: all the other times I went into treatment to avoid something worse. Like prison. I commented: and you had a lot of fun while your were out there. Yeah. He smiled. I had fun. And the turning point for him? When his wife finally left him for good and he knew it. And it was not fun. Not anymore. [I]We have no control. They live this way as long as they choose it. I wish it was different. I hope you keep posting. Take care [/I] [/QUOTE]
