[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 757147, member: 22817"] Thank you everyone for sharing your stories and thoughts. It is a comfort to me and really does help. My son has a full time job and works from his apartment through this pandemic. I feel that isolation didn't help him with his sobriety. In the state he is in, they actually stated they were not allowed to go out side except to the store.. I find that hard to comprehend but then I did hear on the news that a father was arrested for taking his son and wife to the park to throw ball. Just can't believe people are not allowed to go to the park as a family in his state. Sad. He sent me a text last night telling me about a guy asking him how he learned what he knows in his position at work. (He works with insurance and retirement plans). In the text he said the guy had 20 years experience in the field and state that he was no where near knowing all my son knows after only 5 years in the position. I replied that he always did retain things and that he was blessed to have that gift. Even in college he never had to study, just listened in class and he could take the exams. He didn't reply until today and then he said the guy had 15 years experience... So right away, my radar goes up... Last night 20 years but now 15 years.... He is very sharp at work but yet doesn't seem that way when he converses with me. I feel he had drink in him but I am not certain. So, did most of you notice that when they are back to drinking, that they become more silent? It is like us moms can just feel it when they relapse. [/QUOTE]
