[QUOTE="KFld, post: 56634, member: 2442"] My difficult child has adhd and was always a total slob and I believed he could never be organized or clean up after himself. Now he's been in the soberhouse for around 8 months and his room is spotless. His bed is always made, which really blew my mind when he came to VT. with us. I walked by the room he slept in the first morning after he got up and his bed was made!! His suitcase was opened on the floor with his clothes folded neatly in it also. Not only is his room at home always clean, but his clothes are all hung neatly and he has to do his own laundry, and his clothes are always clean when I see him. I attribute this to two major things. 1. I am not there to do it for him anymore and 2. He has been clean for 9 months. They are probably all capable of doing these things, when they are at the place in there lives when it matters to them and nobody else is doing it for them. When my son was using, he could have cared less what his room or anything of his looked like. It just was not important. Now that he has a clear head, I guess it matters. [/QUOTE]
