[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 763535, member: 19522"] Hi B, So glad to see that your son likes the rehab he is at and is on medication to help him. Of course you have moments of hope. This is your son. I’m sure your hubs is concerned for both of you and doesn’t want you to be let down if your son does not continue the course. Men. They communicate so differently from us. I’m sorry that he isn’t more positive, this may be his way of playing “devils advocate” and trying to protect himself, and you. This is where the work still continues in training ourselves to live day to day and not be so focused on an outcome we have no control over. It’s hard to stop our “mothers brain” from over thinking the what ifs. From my experience, most rehabs have plans to take their clients through a series of steps towards recovery and sobriety. It is up to the individual to follow through with the process. Take one day at a time and work on continuing to building yourself up. Switch your focus back to what you can control- your own reactions. Frustration and worry are high stress on our bodies. Find healthy ways to distract yourself. You are so right here, Mama! We all have long ways towards recovery, but it is possible to get off that roller coaster and find balance. You got this. One day at a a time. Hugs Leaf [/QUOTE]
