[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 691492, member: 15032"] Rebel - this all sounds good. Your son is moving in the right direction. All you can do is be supportive and I think you did the right thing by buying him the things he needed for his job. My son is in sober living also. He did not like the IOP where he was after 3 months and was ready to move on. They didn't think he was ready but HE did. He is in a new sober living that he went to with one of his roommates. He has a curfew and drug testing. He is doing well. He has been there 2 weeks and still job hunting but has a very promising lead on a construction assistant. I'm also worried how he'll handle the Florida sun/heat. He is a redhead and very fair. But I try not to think about it much. He drives his roommates to work and they pay him for now. He is not going to any meetings or anything like I wish he would but he said he doesn't want to use anything. He was depressed before and now he is not. He is not doing it the traditional way but he's doing it and that's all I care about. It's on him this time and not on me and I think that is the critical component for him. He also has a girlfriend that does not party and spends a lot of time with her. He sounds strong and confident. Being away from us was the answer I think. If I had only known sooner. In my opinion there is no script on how things are to be done. Different things work for different people. We all know it can all change in a heartbeat but for now bask in the sun of change! :cloudy-little: [/QUOTE]
