Truth be told,...we...wow VJ...that is a LOT of $ ! Truth be told,...we've spent about $70,000 related to D's addiction....pretty sickening really. In fact, that doesn't include some of the smaller costs...co-pays, these recent plane flights...I could go on and on and on. <br /><br /> THANK YOU for praying for D !! I really really appreciate it. <br /> And, yes....I'm hoping you're a guy with a great nest egg from your son one day....we can hope for that too. But I know his recovery would be more of a gift to you than that. I'll continue to pray for him too.beachteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159524928730022945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-60728216313057145002011-05-31T18:08:40.793-04:002011-05-31T18:08:40.793-04:00I think our prayers are heard.

I do pray for your son as I do specifically for others whose blog I read. <br /><br />I have called the "house manager" before also to make sure I wasn't being lied to etc.<br /><br />My son owes me over $100,000 and has yet to make even one small payment!! :) I keep wondering what I'll do with all that money when he pays me back.<br /><br />In prayer for all our children.VJhttp://www.addictionprofiler.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-47598092595182479412011-05-30T10:02:48.754-04:002011-05-30T10:02:48.754-04:00Yes, Notmyboy is right....it would be to make sure...Yes, Notmyboy is right....it would be to make sure he's telling me the truth. Usually, for a long time now...even before he started his recovery this last time(before the relapse), I had stopped doing all those things to check it all out to know the truth. For I'd found out that if he was lying(or using...they went together), within a short time period, it became obvious anyway. But since we're paying for the sober living place and helping with some other expenses(dr. appt. co-pays for example), I just want to be sure he's only able to access $20 at a time as he's saying. <br /> But Lisa, I welcome your comment, for comments help us see these situations out of other eyes besides our own. We all know how much the comments mean to us , so thank you to all of you.beachteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159524928730022945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-7358201073784997562011-05-29T15:01:58.737-04:002011-05-29T15:01:58.737-04:00Lisa, I know you didn't ask me, but I would th...Lisa, I know you didn't ask me, but I would think it would be to find out if there really is a recovery to support.

I am wondering (because I was exactly where you are at one point), what is the value in you calling the House Manager? What will it accomplish in terms of supporting D in his recovery? Just something to think about! <br /><br />I continue to pray for D and for you and for all of our families and friends.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419235000980170328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-5969520434255114072011-05-29T10:27:24.565-04:002011-05-29T10:27:24.565-04:00Back on track, praise GOD!

I think it is great that he told them the truth. When mine relapsed in Sober Living he just left even though they were not going to kick him out. There was another guy there that was shooting H and Blake of course found the guy that was using to be friends with. There is not way to protect them. Sober living is addicts and there will always be some that will use.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469486624859667837noreply@blogger.com
