Thank you, Dotsie, My son is out of the in-patient treatment center and is living in a 3/4 house. He has gotten a part-time job working at a clothing store. His spirits are pretty good. He goes to the treatment center several hours aday for aftercare. He is in a great area in Chicago so I'm not as worried, if he decides to leave the problem that we have now is that he is afraid to come home in December becasue he is afraid to going back to his old habits. His girlfriend broke up with him while he was there. ( which is a good thing) and this is another reason why is is afraid to return home. The family of course wants him home but also afraid they he will slip. I wanted to provide an update and thank those who responded
