[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 537340"] I understand the need not to bring up rehab. I just want to inject something my son's rehab emphasized to me. They said I must be totally honest. Their point is that addicts lie and seeing me lie at all...or encouraging him to even twist the truth can endanger his sobriety. Not trying to add to your burdens but is there a way to find a statement that is true, yet preserves his privacy? My son found his job through someone at a meeting. He was told to mention it to the manager as he is also in recovery. The more I know of recovery, the more I see how they help each other. Your son might ask at a few meetings if anyone has any tips for him to please talk to him after the meetings. [/QUOTE]
