His big things before going to rehab the first time for a month (July 12- Aug 12) was shooting up coke. He has not shot up coke in almost a year. He has he has no temptations to do anything drug related, or drinking. I'm really proud of him, so are my parents. They both love him to death, especially my step dad. They were really disappointed, and so was I.
His mom is a morphine addict, and that triggers Taylor all the time. He hates living there, but all his relatives live in Colorado (where he is from) and he does not wand to move back there. His mom talks down to him all the time for being a drug addict and that is when he got fed up and relapsed. He told me smoking was the worst way to handle it, and luckily he learned from it. (this time I'm talking about was the second time) His mom is blaming his relapses on me, so I can see him or talk to him for two weeks (one more week to go). He has an Itouch though, which has Internet, and his mom knows this. So we email a lot throughout the day.
My step dad had a "meeting" with Lauri (Tay's mom) and basically told her off and telling her that I'm one of the biggest supporters in his life, along with Taylor's dad and my family. She was mad about it and has not talked to our family since then, about a month ago. So apparently his relapses are all my fault according to his mom, when in fact Taylor has admitted that his mom triggers him not anyone else. Just one more week, it won't be that hard considering I had no communication or visiting privileges for over 3 months.
4/20 is duh, the "day to smoke pot". It was his first 4/20 sober, and he was really excited about it. So was my family. My step dad knows what 4:20 is but not my mom. He said that temptations for doing weed is hard, but luckily he still and has not had temptations to do any drugs, period. Well besides weed. I don't like the fact that he gets tempted to do weed, but its better then the drugs he was hooked on, and is not anymore. I finally started to understand what temptations are with drug addicts. Its apparently like when you're allergic to something but really like it, like peanuts and seeing them or smelling them makes you want them and it takes alto to not have them. Well a better example is probably smokers but you catch my drift.
All and all I'm surprised he's doing so well, its only going to get easier from here. according to like over 20 websites that is. they say the first 3 months are the worst, i've seen documentaries on a lot of famous people and their drug addiction, and they all say the first three months suck (he was in wilderness for that long) but after that it gets easier. It gets easier if the addict wants to stay clean, and Taylor wants to. So viva sobriety.
