[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 729747, member: 15032"] Albatross: What a wonderful post! I could have written the post myself as you know. I know what it means to get THAT letter. We have gotten two from our son now who is in his fifth month of his 13 month program. One was to both of us and one was just to his dad. They mean the world to us and I almost want to frame them! It's like words that we've always wanted to hear but never did in seven years. He dug deep. I still am trying to get past the anger and bitterness for all the bad things that have happened to all of us as a result of this addiction. It is so very hard but I'm learning here from those of you that are in the same rest stop along this journey or those that are ahead of us. Like your signature says, we too are cautiously optimistic because we've been down the sober road before but never like this. It's all different this time. Not sure if it's maturity or the religious aspect of it or a little bit of both. I wish you all good things that your son stays the course and it sticks when he reenters the real world. :beautifulthing::yes: [/QUOTE]
