Finally, my son in rehab...

After abusing marijuana for maybe two decades, my son is in a 30-day program at a local hospital.  He was referred through a psychologist at his work (to whom in he was referred when he was probably about to be fired on account of tardiness and carelessness.)

He was immediately put on anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and something to help him sleep by a psychiatrist.

I am so surprised at how well he is taking this.  He is saying he's happy to be sober, he's interested in meeting other people with problems, and he seems to respect the staff.

I realize that many reading this have relatives who have been to rehab many times.  But this is the first time my son has ever even aknowledged problems with drugs.  He's even blamed us for not doing them with him!!!  That would be for the sake of family unity.

Well, you all know what I want for Christmas.
