Hi all,
Well yesterday I went back into crisis mode as my son was kicked out of the sober house he was in. It was nutty because I am across the country and I had the manager call me, and keep yelling at my son while I was trying to talk to him.... and I was in the middle of something else of course!!
So the bad news is he was kicked out.
The good news it was not because he was using!!! I am not completely sure why as of course I am getting different info from my son and from the owner and the truth is probably somewhere imbetween.
The good news is I think my son has stayed sober and has not relapsed.
The bad news is he still has a lot of life lessons to learn about getting along and not being so confrontational etc etc.
The good news is he called his sponsor who came out and helped him figure out what to do.
The good news is he talked to me and lucky for him he has a safety net which is us.
The good news is he did manage to go get his stuff and find another sober living place which he says is a lot better.
So there is good news in here.... but man oh man this type of stuff wears on me... and of course it is yet another expense.
BUT and this is the huge thing he still seems serious about recovery. He felt the owner and manager were using and that bothered him... and this new place he said the staff is all working recovery.
