[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 731952, member: 15032"] Thanks so much everyone for your continued prayers and positive thoughts. His graduation will be the beginning for him and it will be very difficult I'm sure but I really believe (and my therapist who is an addiction specialist concurs) that the drug brain needs at least a year to really "dry out". It has been such a journey for us. I collected knowledge from each treatment center, therapist, counselor, social worker, etc. that came into our lives. I do remember one of the last ones said do not wait until HE is ready. Her parents forced her too. We forced this on him and my husband feared he'd hate us. But we didn't care. We wanted him sober for long enough to SEE what was really going on with his life. It doesn't happen in 30 days. Nope. Not even close. He is really putting a lot into this. He rarely complians which is not like him! He just says it's very hard but all the guys say that during their graduation speech. But the way he is so intense about doing everything RIGHT there speaks volumes to us. I told him do not question it. It WORKS. We are realistic - we're pretty seasoned - but this feels right for our family. Mimi I will PM you. [/QUOTE]
