I spoke with him this afternoon. He's been sharing a house here in PA with friends and although they all work full time it's a typical single guy party house. difficult child told me he's moving back in with dex in NJ next week becaue he wants to stay sober and knows he doesn't have a chance in the environment he's living in. He also has classes to attend in NJ regarding his DUI and the commute would be ridiculous. If he actually follows through with this it will be the first rational decision he's made in years. I told him I thought it was a smart decision and wished him luck. I wanted to remind him of AA meetings and counseling but I kept my mouth shut. He knows these things. I will not get caught up in his drama again.

That does sound like some rational thinking. May he keep it up :smile:

If he can actually follow thru with his plan it would be a good positive step forward for difficult child. :thumb: I think recognizing for himself that the environment in which he's living isn't a good one to maintain his recovery is also a positive sign. Hopefully he can get out of there before the tempation becomes too great.

I also wish my difficult child would see that his living environment will not help himi either. He is just living without us telling him what to do - no matter where he is - living in a trash pile - how can anyone succeed there?
