(((Parentrecovers))) We went through this, too. Daughter was kicked out from an extended stay recovery house for a dirty UA. Lots of quacking... but her actions spoke even louder than her words. She just was NOT ready for recovery right then.

My son was in an Oxford House for over a year. They had many residents come and go. One guy was so upset after he had relapsed, but so committed to the idea of being sober, that he willingly left... spent 30 days at a shelter... and was readmitted after the break.

That impressed me.

There are options - they just aren't "fun options".

I wish you the best with this and send prayers for strength and wisdom.

(((hugs)))
