Too risky to return to Restaurant job?
My son was arrested for his second DUI. He is currently waiting for his sentence. In the meantime alot has happened. He has admitted he has a drinking problem and wants to stop. He has stayed with us since the incident but did go back to college. He told his asst. dean and professors what he did in the event jail interruppts college. The ass. dean has taken him under her wing and to help provide him structure and hope- he works for her during the day and goes to college seminars. He also has enrolled in outpatient extensive therapy in which he goes twice a week.
It is important to him to pay us back for the lawyer. He wants to return to his job but come right home after it. It is in a 5 star restaurant. However he has admitted many of the servers etc that he hangs out with goes drinking afterwards.
I am torn between he is going to have to learn to live in a society that is around alcohol and steer away from it as well as face his financial obligation but yet wondering if it is asking for trouble to work in a place that makes money on alcohol.
He is going to have to face his legal obligations( which he should) as well as work on getting better. WE are just trying to figure out this job thing.
any thoughts?
