| Good news update
Hi all, Mr. Moose and I have been talking with oldest A son, lmost every evening since he's landed at his Sober House. Has been attending meetings, found job...(not one I'm too happy about) but none the less, he is sounding great! This a.m. he called, and said he attended a meeting at 8 A.M. which is a first for him, he's not a morning person...LOL While we were talking he was high on sobriety, and said " realize that if I use again, I will die." Thanks for all your concerns and prayers.

Diane, I am so happy for you. This is wonderful news that he realized that if he uses he will die. Think of his job as just that a step in his recovery, he will get something better in time. Hugs coming to you

Fantastic News! RAS never got up willing before noon in his life. Now he wakes up every morning at 6 AM with no alarm clock...he LOVES mornings! I think there are no better words for a mom to hear than "I'm high on life". Wait till you start getting the what a great day it is to be alive stuff, the constant hugs and "I love you's".....it makes it totally impossible to be in a bad mood, even if you wanted to :-) Hugs, SM |

Diane - I am absolutely thrilled for you! That is a huge step that your son has taken. Life isn't perfect but it sure is coming close for you today. I really am happy to hear about your son - that is a huge realization for him to verbalize. It's so true and so many addicts deny that until it is too late. Thanks for spreading this wonderful experience! Take care, Donna

I'm doing the happy dance too. He's had time to think about this and is making good decisions. I think he's going to be just fine. Hugs to all the MooseClan.

Thanks all... I hope he continues on the path he's on now. The only low point I see, is, he may be 33, but he sure thinks like he's 16... Perhaps delayed brain development as a result of drug use? Or hereditary? Ha ha.... Please continued prayers for him, thanks.... Miracles happen. Hugs,

Gosh Diane - If he gets that if he uses again that he will die then hopefully he also hears that he has arrested his emotional development along the way too. I am married to a 49 yr old going on 17. Sometimes he thinks just like a teenager. It takes a while to pull it all together! Anything is an improvement though, right? Take care! Donna

Seems we have been doing the happy dance alot lately....I LOVE it! Keep it coming everyone!!! It's been a tough last year or two, with Neptune being stuck and all... Our RAS is 30 yrs old in real years, but no more than 17 or 18 in maturity. So I understand what you mean. Personally, I think maturity stops with the beginning of addiction. I know I'm not 54 yrs mature....lost quite a few yrs. there. I certainly don't feel wise enough to be 54 :-) Anyway, stay in the moment and enjoy every second! You are one great lady and you deserve every second of happiness! Ditto, for MrMoose! Hugs and prayers, SM |

Congratulations on the good recovery news... Yes, they do have maturity issues.... How's this for looking on the bright side? Sometimes when my recovering son acts like the 17 year old he was when he started using, I think...Hmmm...we're getting to relive those years that were so awful the first time!! I know...stretching it a bit but hey I look for gratitude wherever it can be found!!...LOL
