I think you handled him quite well.
Bingo. He's not practicing what he learned and he DOES need a reminder. We are hoping that they will suggest either long term outpatient or sober living. I think a good sle would be best for him if possible.
I would be very interested to hear about other's experiences with sober living environments.....both from the perspective of the recovering addict and from the families. If anyone has some input on sle's, I'm all ears and....of course......
gentle hugs
