In reply to Son had a 'slip' last night. I'm scared; so's he, posted by Kath on January 3, 2008, at 17:44:15
You're such a sweetheart for giving him a safe place to stay. And it's great that he's meeting with his case worker so quickly after the slip, while it's still fresh in his mind.
This is something that he has to come to grips with. Please protect yourselves financially, if you can. Staying clean when it seems like the rest of the world is having a massive party is really, really challenging, and your son showed his human qualities in succumbing to the temptations that were around him. For the longest time it was all I could do to just keep myself isolated from the things that were bad for me.
And definitely, use your own support system at this time, Kath. Didn't you go on a retreat last summer? Have any contacts from that time you can call and speak with? You need the help as much as your son does.
Take care!
