[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 743970, member: 22817"] He ended up deciding to stay. He sent me an email during the time they have access to it. He said that he will stay and take it one day at a time. As hard as I try to move past this, I feel I am just drawn in because of the lease, because I am the one he goes to all the time, etc. I have tried to be so strong and feel like I have no support. Someone mentioned not being around him on Christmas. I won't be because he lives over 1500 miles from me alone. I fear Christmas eve/day and New Years eve/day... I guess because most places will be closed and he will be just sitting alone. I know it is his choice not to go to sober living, not to reach out to friends, not to go to AA, etc. I don't get why I can't just move on and not care! He still has not received the Vivitrol shot which he was approved for.... I ask why and get that he doesn't know, that if he wanted to drink even with getting the shot he could, etc. My parents even offered to help him with his finances if he committed to go to sober living just for 3 months and he refused. He says he wants to have a girlfriend again and can't if he is in sober living... I know they tell them not to start relationships in early recovery and I have reminded him of that .... I get "having a girlfriend is the only way I feel somewhat adequate- otherwise I feel worthless and even have worse self esteem". My daughter and I are going on a bus trip this Sat.... The day his counselor would call and have a phone meeting with us and my son to discuss the afterplan..... My husband works and I will be away so the meeting won't happen. I just want to enjoy the day with my daughter. I do plan on turning my phone off. My son is his own worst enemy. [/QUOTE]
