Had another good convo with difficult child last night....he is trying to figure things out. He is almost done with detox and is feeling a lot better. He is having 2nd thoughts about the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)....he has been in so many and he wants to get on with his life....and he said he has had a couple issues with the detox.....at that,my heart sank. I asked him what issues and a couple of the guys were doing sketchy things with the medications. They have 6 beds and he says 4 of the 6 are serious about getting sober and he has been sticking with those guys and has been having some deep convos with those guys
So he still sounds real serious, and seems to be thinking clearly. We told him we will help and support him but we are not directing what he does.
And he apologized for his nutty on Tuesday which he has rarely done before. So it all feels hopeful.
I am very clear at this point that his best chance for success is for me to not get in the way and try and direct his recovery....he has to be the one to figure this out.
