[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 759936, member: 22817"] I wanted to update on my son. He is 107 days sober and seems to be doing well. He lives 24 hours away in a new state and has a girlfriend which I am nervous about. He always has to have one. Still goes to AA meetings and chairs them. Says his sobriety comes first. He called tonight and I still hear the same tone in his voice. The anger still seems to be there when he talks about things that he doesn't agree with... girlfriends new diet, work, etc. He said he is interviewing for a new position within his company. He has been in the same position for 3 years and his boss has always stuck beside him through all of his relapses and missing time. He is grateful for his job but also feels for what he does and the amount of money he handles his pay should be higher than someone that just gets hired on. So, I am nervous that he may be moving to a new job. The stress of that may not be good for his sobriety. His sponsor told him to be patient and put his sobriety first. I know that God will open a door for him when the time is right and I told my son that. He and one other employee carry the weight of the 4 person team. He shares with me the pie chart showing the percentages. I know this is his battle. I wish I wouldn't be so nervous but this is the longest he has ever gone sober. He also mentioned flying home to visit with the girlfriend in the summer but he would only stop in to see us and go to dinner. He said "I don't want any new resentments" I wish I knew what we did to make him feel so uneasy about being with us and being home. [/QUOTE]
