[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 736664, member: 21895"] Sober homes are hard to find here and not well maintained....flop houses with pot and alcohol use rampant and unchecked. If there was an option that was a good one I would agree 100%. He had a rough few days and was pissed that we reported back to his program the breaches of his visit agreements. Yes he stayed clean but the behaviour is not cool!! He had a major breakthrough in therapy and his therapist and I spoke at length today. He will have another RL (Real Life visit is what they call it). We have position the “Talk” the rule is clean and sober or not you break curfew and we don’t let you in and you can find you own way back to rehab. Your 100% right BBL have to nip it in the bud. He is still processing. We haven’t had a phone call yet this week. That is a good thing. He is learning to self regulate and manage his emotions. Before it would have been an alphabet soup of cussing out via phone calls. He is being evaluated tomorrow to advance to phase 4 of his program. I was told tonight he will be getting the advancement primarily become of how he managed with this challenge. Seeing the behaviour risks and appreciating that is part of the addiction is critical to staying in recovery. When he is released he is still in the program and will do back in touch visits one weekend a month or more if needed. I can not express how amazing this program is and how disappointing it is to see so few embrace this opportunity fully. Life is nuts for me right now. I wish I had more time to visit the site. Mid all of you!! Think of you all often and your words of wisdom carry me through every day. [/QUOTE]
