Hmmm. Yesterday I shared my concern that both Jon and Ant (the two main using friends Keven has, the ones that got him started 3 years ago, the ones he feels are like his "bros") were both at the adjoining rehab where Kev is.Well, Kev called this morning to let me know something and mentioned that they had kicked Jon out. Yay!
Then Anthony called and told me there was not funding available for him to go there, (not yay cause he needs this program, but yay that I don't have to worry about him and Keven being at the same place at the same time.)
Peace, Hope and Love, Barbara

That is interesting considering we just talked about this last night!
Is that picture Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn? LOL...seems appropriate if you planned it that way Barbara...two boys who can get themselves into trouble together.
I've been praying for Keven, that whatever happens with his current situation is for his best.
Ruth, hehe yep! They are my Tom and Huck. Anthony is Tom, Keven is Huck.
Thanks for stopping by here, I appreciate your prayers so much!
and God knows,...all of our sons can whitewash that fence. Glad that things are falling into place in a way to help Keven succeed. Thinking of you.
Sometimes things fall into place in the most unusual way. Whatever works! I am happy for you!
As I've often heard someone in AA remark, "is that odd or is that God?"
Convenient. :)
Lisa, I know! Weird but good.
Bristol, thanks :)
Came2Believe, I've heard that saying too. Whatever the reason, I feel its for the best. :)
Hi Rahime, I think I will email you on an unrelated topic.
BeachTeach- Absolutely! Keven has a lot of Tom Sawyer in him, but I say he's Huck because Ant is definitely the leader.
Addicts are great whitewashers!
You mention LEADER! B always thinks he is the leader of all these people, yet he is the follower. I am so glad it worked out for you um...Keven. B met this guy in rehab that was 8 years older than him and they had this pact. 28 y.o. was sick of his life even telling me it was time for him to get his shit together. I thought that was great maybe he could have a person who understands him but wants sobriety too. They also relapsed together.....
There are a thousand Ants and Jons in this world, so while it gives you some relief to know they aren't close to Kevin please keep it in perspective. I used to chase away all the people in my son's life who he used with, but it seemed every time I turned around there was someone new. Still, when you get those "big influences" away, it certainly feels GREAT! :)
Notmyboy ..you beat me to the punch..
Barb you know I like u but I totally disagree with the post...
Your child will need to learn to deal w/ his own sobriety with all types of characters in his life...
I feel bad for the two that got tossed...as they will need to start their journey again... for me it's a lot of what i wrote last week...

I hope they all find recovery....

I had to move away to get clean. I could have never done it in New Orleans with all my friends I used with nearby. It is just too hard. Passing all my old haunts...hell, sometimes just thinking about them from miles away can cause cravings. I had to let a lot of people go, and over the years...most of the ones who really mattered are back in my life. Most of the ones who really mattered are clean and have kids, and the others are dead. Or nearly dead. You have to change people, places, and things...it just makes it it that much easier when the universe changes them for us.
