[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740775, member: 23349"] Joy I’m so sorry. It does sound like perhaps you’re not getting the full story here. It’s so frustrating to see them keep stumbling like this, just when you think they are making progress. What are his options if you don’t let him stay? Can you make it his responsibility to figure out where he will stay since he has lost his housing for this week? Does he have any money to pay for a cheap motel perhaps? A (sober) friend he can stay with? I would also be wary about offering refuge from a self created problem. On the other hand, if he is serious about wanting to get sober and wants to go back to the sober house in 7 days, you don’t want to see a small setback turn into a full on relapse. But whatever you decide don’t blame yourself. Only he is responsible for his actions, whatever you decide to do or not do for him. If you do not let him back into your home, you are not pushing him back into dope. [/QUOTE]
