[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 718433, member: 19617"] Hear you Albie, But any motivation at this point is good! (Threat of prison can be a good motivator.) My son was in jail for 6 months, and realized he did not want to live there. He was fortunate to be released to an 18 month drug court program. Early on in the program, he was twice (that I know of) sent back to jail for 4-5 days at a time because he violated some term / condition of the program. So his prime motivation in following the program was to stay out of jail. I thought [I]“I’ll take that as a motivator … whatever it takes!”[/I] He still has 4-6 months to go in the program, still is not really supporting himself, although he shows improvement. ([I] ? Or it could just be that he's good at making it look like he's getting it together ? [/I]- I don't have glimmers of hope, just take one day at a time.) I try to stay out of it all. We are with you.
