[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 432520, member: 59"] My 19 yo daughter is currently in a sober house right now. She was in rehab last summer for 60 days and outpatient aftercare for 45 days and relapsed shortly afterward. We finally kicked her out of the house in February and she lived with drug friends for two months and begged to come home. We said no and told her she needed to find treatment. She has been in the sober house for two months now and is doing very well. HOWEVER, I am very concerned that she may not be able to maintain sobriety once she moves to the halfway part of the house where she can have more freedom. And I am not at all sure she she maintain sobriety in the real world. She committed to staying int he sober hosue for at leats six months and is required to find and maintain a job, so we are hopeful she can move from there into her own apartment and be responsible for herself. If your son is not working the program it will be very difficult to stay clean. I'm sure you know the signs to look for, and you already have seen them. It's a slippery slope as you know. You will have to determine what you are willing to accept and what you aren't and draw the line in the sand. Our daughter knows she can never come back home if she is using/drinking. She finally admitted yto us the other day that she is also a drug addict. Her words' "I smoked pot everyday. Pot is a drug." I'm glad you found us. There are members on this board who have been and still are exactly where you are and can offer tremendous support. Nancy [/QUOTE]
