hi patch,

my counselor told me there are two kinds of ways recovering addicts live.........
1. Living clean (when you don't do drugs)
2. Living clean AND sober (sober meaning when you WORK your program too)

My son is home from rehab six months three weeks clean to my knowledge. i wonder IF he is SOBER because in this time home (3 weeks) he has applied for jobs but hasn't found one. My private thoughts are that by one month you can find a job. It might not be the job of your dreams but you have to start somewhere........

Take care of yourself. That is what I am trying to do and not get "sucked" in. I deserve better than to worry about a grown, educated son getting a job. You need to do something for yourself. Just make sure when your grandchild is with you hygeine needs are met (Which I know you do anyway) and if your daughters job is important to her she won't put it in jeopardy by poor hygeine (IMHO) take care of YOU. You sound like you are a very caring person.........don't be taken advantage of......dixie
