Just wanted to share that I was able to speak to my sons counselor last weekend. He signed the release. We spoke for over an hour and it was stated that my son has almost made a 180 degree turn around. He was smiling, laughing and building relationships with the fellow guys that are there.
I felt so good....
Then Sunday came and my son called. I could tell he was irritated. It was the day when visitors could come but he didn't have any because we do not live near him. He only has a few friends from work and they don't come either. Monday came, and he was awful on the phone. Same old person he was prior to going to rehab. Everything I said was wrong. He was totally against IOP and sober living. Said the IOP's that have family night are a waste of his time since he doesn't have any family there.
I am a mess. If he refuses to go to sober living or IOP and just returns to his apartment alone, what are the chances of sobriety.... His attitude was awful.
I left the counselor know and was told that it most likely was from not having visitors. Others have said that the addicted one goes through ups and downs while in rehab so I am not sure but I am worried.
I don't know what to set the boundaries at if he refuses to go to sober living. It will be hard because his lease will need to be broken and his belongings moved to storage so sober living is no easy or cheap task.
