HI TC - Just on the computer for the first time in days.
Thx for asking.
It seems theres new dramas frequently.
Son wasn't doing well with stopping cocaine.
He asked to go to detox. Unfortunately it was only for the physical symptoms & was 3 days only. But, he says he's doing way better now. He is drinking though.In actual fact, it's not a problem having him here, except that he smokes, so smells when he comes in from having a smoke outside. He washes his hands & sometimes remembers to change his clothes! He's being totally respectful & co-operative, even to taking some supplements hubby & I researched & bought. Tyrosine, GABA & L-glutamine are supposed to help with cravings & also I bought a Dr/ Reckeweg homeopathic combination for withdrawal from smoking etc. That's the company that makes the one for Depression that I feel saved my sanity during this past winter.
Now, though, my son wants to go to a music event this weekend. He says he feels he can keep clean & sober.....he needs to be 72 hours C & S for his 'intake' meeting for Georgianwood (the Dual-Diagnosis Rehab Treatment Centre he's wanting to go to).
When I expressed my concern, he came up with the idea that maybe we could make the intake appointment a different day. That was okay with me, but when we phoned, it might be as far off as mid-August.Anyway, we're not policemen & I don't know. This just came up today. Haven't even talked with hubby about it yet. I actually sent him a copy of the email I send to son's mental health worker because son is out & I don't want to be the 'messenger' with the details to my husband & get HIS emotional reaction. MY emotional reaction was pretty strong & it's enough for me to have experienced mine; don't want his also until he's had time to digest it!!
Anything nice happening in your life TC?
hugs, Kath
