Thanks you-all.
I didn't phone him. He phoned me (that's OK with me; I'm glad I didn't phone him though).
He said he'd 'messed up' on the weekend with cocaine & realizes he's not in control of his drug use & he needs help/wants to go to rehab.
I should be glad, but I wish he was in a different place. I'm trying to be thankful he's interested at all. I wish he didn't have his requirements:
- wants to go to some sort of short-term rehab; doesn't want to be 'locked up in rehab' for the whole summer. Wants something like a month or so
- wants to get his drug use under control. Says he knows he'll be using, but wants to be able to keep it under control.
He said that he'd probably be willing to go back in the fall if he needs to for a month or so. He doesn't think he can be away from his friends for more than a month! It seems so strange to me.
I feel SHAME about not being greatful that he wants to go to rehab at ALL!!!
I wonder what's wrong with me.
Kath
PS - we both have appointments with his worker tomorrow.
