[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 743863, member: 15801"] OK this is my take.....I think you know that going back alone to the apartment alone is a set up for him to relapse again. I dont think that is a good idea. He will need the support. From what you have said your son at least to some extent wants to some sobriety but he cant do it alone he needs support, but the addiction will keep telling him he can do it on his own..... so I think going back to the apartment is a bad idea. And I think having it as a back up plan if he doesnt like sober living is a set up for him to not make the sober living work. So yes I would cut the losses and break the lease. You can always get a storage unit for his belongings. That way if he is in sober living and doesnt like it..... then his choice is to make it work or to be homeless. From things you have said your son might really make it work. Now my son never did..... and he has been homeless (and survived that and somehow made that work). But I do think your sons best chance is to have some good support after he is back in rehab. Living alone with no support is not a good option. TL [/QUOTE]
