Hello dear people. I wanted to check in with you all and give you an update to my 20 year old son. After being arrested and serving 11 days in jail with felony charges of stealing, being dropped to misdemeanor and probation with mandatory 6 months drug rehab, today he goes to a Sober Living Environment for the remainding 5 months. I'm extremely nervous because he will have his cell phone back and his car. He has been doing so well and sharing his feelings like never before. He takes responsiblity and accountability which he never did before. Everything he says seems perfect but I know he can be manipulative. Of course if he messes up, he will break probation and go back to jail and he does not want that at all. He is on top of everything as to not get in any trouble. The SLE requires 4 meetings per week, random drug testing & curfew and for him to have sponsor who signs off weekly. That gives me some assurance but I can't help but worry. We finally have our son sober, it's been 47 days! He's full of life & energy, gained 10 pounds and motivated for life!! Is there any advice you may have for his father and I to help him in this sobriety, temptations, etc... God I hope this is his opportunity to turn his life around for good! Thank you loves...
