T was not accepted due to his lack of usage and his negative attitude.  T doesn't believe he needs treatment (understandably - if he's not using).  I was told through the caseworker today that...

T was not accepted due to his lack of usage and his negative attitude.  T doesn't believe he needs treatment (understandably - if he's not using).  I was told through the caseworker today that...

I'm not sure how things are going to pan out regarding T's future - whether he is accepted or not into the 90 day treatment or not.  It can go either way.  I thought, for sure, he'd be turned down...

It's Monday morning and T got up very easily!  That was the first Monday morning in a very long time.  He actually was talkative!  He did remind me, however, that he forgot his Nicorette gum,...

Well -- T did pull a fast one, that is for sure.  Funny how he doesn't seem to understand that going to his friend's house instead of going to school is wrong.  He said he wasn't feeling well and...

Did I not say that "this" - this teenage - recovery/addiction "thing", at one time, is like a roller coaster?  T wouldn't get up for school today - claiming he had a headache and was nauseous.  I...

T seems to be doing better.  He is a pistol, at times, but it would be unrealistic to expect perfection.  He went to counseling yesterday and was in a good mood (he got to leave school a bit...

Just an extension from the previous entry:  Caseworker went to the school to explain to T that he will have to go for an assessment after all.  T was not happy and then refused a drug screen saying...

Had a great weekend all the way around.  Just got back from our last outdoor game.  It was an unscheduled game - a pick up.  It was so exhilarating and fun.  Great group of people.  Lots of...

T is high maintainance.  Either he's a dry drunk or is doing something that can't be detected or his behavior is a result of years of getting away with things OR a combination of a number of...

Had to get T at school this morning.  He was only there for 15 minutes.  Said he felt like he was tripping (he was kidding and laughed).  I told him that it was not apropriate to joke about...

Things aren't as nearly as bad as I imagined.  Todd's behavior makes it obvious now that he's not using.  He's been home nearly every evening.  I spoke with the director at the center and told her...

Had a difficult time getting T up this morning.  He hoped I would call in sick for him for his math class because the class was having a test.  I told him that that was his decision not to go but I...

Today T got up for his counseling appointment.   A 45 minute drive away on a Sunday, no less.  Part of the reason he agrees to go, I believe, is the novelty of seeing a counselor.  In fact, he...

Husband and I drove almost 2 hours to this 90 facility and met with the directors.  I'm glad we went.  We told them that T is doing so much better and they said they'd wait on the assessment but...
