job interview for AS

Well, after almost two weeks and many applications, my RAS has a job interview tomorrow! He was really pumped about it when I talked to him tonight. Of course, it's only fast food, but it will really help him to keep busier. He seems to be doing really well at the oxford house, going to meetings, getting used to living in a bigger city. Anyway, how about some prayers going up tomorrow afternoon? Thanks friends.

Your son is definitely in my prayers....

I am so happy to hear the positive steps he is taking...

it has been my experience that long term recovery needs these kinds of life changing experiences....(countless failed 28 day programs led me to this conclusion)

I hope all goes well tomorrow

Krhea,
It really sounds like you son is doing well. I'll certainly keep him in prayer.
Don't you love calling him your RAS?

Hugs........Lo

Congratulations on the interview.
Remember, one day at a time..... Enjoy the moment, with both eyes open.....

I'm pretty darn happy for'em. You too, mom. Tell him, congrats from me.
Hey! I worked for a certain Big Boy for 12 years. I raised kids with those tips.

Hello

How exciting this is! Be sure and let us know as soon as they tell him "START TOMORROW!"

My prayers are with your RAS!

And, by the way, "it's only" it's a job! Wonderful! I wouldn't care what my son did as long as it was legal!

Hugs, Devastated

HE GOT THE JOB!
He called tonight, really excited! He starts on Monday! What's really neat is that this place isn't open until all hours of the night. It's open at 10 and closes at 10. So I will know that he won't be coming home late at night. I am so thrilled. God is good and so are all of you! Thanks for the prayers and encouragement. One step at a time.
