[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 258948, member: 5941"] Happy to read your update. Here's to small victories! Yay! I would definitely acknowledge his progress with something (I hear ice cream cakes are very popular) to show that you appreciate that he is sticking with the substance abuse program. My son is 16 and recently returned home from a six week diagnostic program where he detoxed from heavy pot smoking (several times a day at the time of admission at New Year's). He just started an outpatient substance abuse counseling program where he meets with a social worker one on one and gets tested. I found out that he has smoked weed since he's been home but not enough to show up onthe urine screen. It makes me nuts but at his age and size, I can't sit on him all day. I've come to accept that he must experience the natural consequences of his actions. Hard for me to do, when I'm accustomed to racing to my three kids to fix everything (hence my screen name). I don't learn quick, but I learn. Congratulations to you and his dad for finding a way to help him and your whole family. [/QUOTE]
