[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 709605, member: 17720"] Copa, he is living with us, for now. It is a temporary arrangement with a fixed date of departure. How he ended up with us again is a long story that I will go into one of these days. Don't want to jinx it! HA! He is not using substances and is not receiving treatment but has a plan in place if he wants to drink. He has shown through his actions that he is committed to staying sober, otherwise he would not be staying here. He had a slip, but he learned from it and got back on track. We reacted calmly, instead of freaking out about it like we usually do, so I guess we maybe learned something too. For our part we are trying not to hover and wait for the other shoe to drop, if that makes any sense. I think that anxiety is enough to make us all want to drink... I know that probably doesn't help you with your question. Tomorrow can always be a different story, but for today at least conditions aren't really an issue. [/QUOTE]
