[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 379237"] Thanks Nancy. I have this hope that now that he has a job that somehow it will keep him busy, he will meet a nice girl, have some money to take her out on a date and just have things going better for him and so have less of a need to get high. I know that is probably very unrealistic....but so far he has been working and I think is looking forward to his first paycheck. I guess the key will be what he does with the money!!! I am having to step back and remember that now that he is home i need to be careful not to enable him. The first several days I would call him just to make sure he was up. I realized it was because I WANT him to keep this job. As my therapist pointed out to me it has to be more important to him than to me. I have to let it go... and if he keeps getting late then he will learn a tough lesson. Man I am finding it very hard to do though. And yeah time will tell how much and how deep he is into the drug use. If he really is, and he probably is then things will turn bad like you said. I am just hoping he really surprises me. I am following what you are going through with your daughter. Hugs back. [/QUOTE]
