dear helpformyson - your post sounded like i could have typed it myself - we are just going into the time, whereas your son is just getting out, but i have already been thinking about how it will feel when he gets to that point - there is a feeling of apprension already starting about that - but once again i have to remind myself to stay in the moment and trust that God's plan for my son is unfolding as it should. My son's comments and attitude sounds very much like your son's. I will pray fervently that they both mean every word and will follow those words up with action driven by determination to live a drug-free life from now on.
