Living with an addict immediately after rehab is not easy. Someone here said it very well. We know what recovery is suppose to look like. And we know when we don't see it. He knows what he needs to do. He just doesn't want to do it. It's hard work recovering from drug addiction.

If he's not working a program, he's not "in recovery". He's white knuckling it and even if they aren't using, the behaviors remain the same. And for me, it's the behaviors that I can't tolerate.

The one thing I can say from my experience is that the most important thing I have done for myself and my RAS is work MY program and let him work his.

gentle hugs
