[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 739791, member: 19887"] Our son went to detox in May of 2017 and has been sober since an intervention from his friends in fall of 2017. We have seen gradual changes in him across all parts of his life, but mostly I see the Son I knew before but a little changed. He laughs again, he is kind again and is respectful. Does he still make stupid choices at times.... yup. Picture a 2am phone call from Mexico where he lost his tourist card and we had to pay for a new flight home. He had spent the last few dollars of his student loan and had no money left! He has since paid us back.... first time we ever saw any money he owes us is this summer. He also has his first paying legal jobs in three years. He also has a mature relationship with a girl who has value and goals. That’s something I had lost hope for as his previous relationships were all unhealthy. He also is back in school and doing well. So we did see changes for sure. It takes time and patience for sure.
