Congratulations for your 35 days.
The last time I sent my son away from our home he was out using for about 6 weeks before he got himself arrested. He chose to be in a program that involved doing more and harder time in jail. He was more serious than I've ever seen him be about anything.
He is now coming up on two years clean time and will be getting married in a few months to a wonderful young lady. His life is slowly but surely getting back on track.
I'm very proud of you for sticking with your own program of recovery while going through all these issues with your son. You have given him a wonderful gift of being in charge of his own life, plus the gift of a mom who understands herself what recovery is all about.
I remember how I felt at the time and there were so many mixed emotions.
I hope that someday soon he will have had enough and meanwhile you can always come here to share with others who care and understand.
