he lost his job today. He didn't go into work yesterday, as he was drinking
Shawn has realized what he has done. He did buy more booze lastnight, but he didn't touch them. He was upset with his dad, but didn't want to drink them, but did want to.. I asked him why he bought them & he said he doesn't know why & that he is going to dump them down the drain. I said, why not give them to Rose instead, as a thank you gift for being a nice person...
Rose doesn't drink much, but I'm gonna call her today & let her know that Shawn will be giving her his booze & to just accept it as a gift & if she wants them, she can keep them or dump them, its up to her.. She knows what Shawn is going through & she really likes Shawn a lot(hes not violent or anything, hes always a friendly guy) so she also wants to help him (well help me help him), as I'm helping her deal with her POS b/f (which she kicked out lastnight & made him sleep outside).
Rose is even gonna hook Shawn & I up with this wonderful dr. she found for her b/f (he does coke & drinks & he gets nasty!), as she said she knows she'll be good for Shawn as Shawn isn't hopelessly lost, he just needs a few more helpful loving hands to help him on his way to recovery.
Rose also thinks Shawn has ADD & also agrees with me, that it could be a small part of his problem. I told Shawn that I think he has ADD & he thought about it & agreed & is willing to go on the meds if the Dr. conferms that it is ADD.
Shawn is excited to get this help, but he has asked me to keep the bottle of pills in my purse so there is no temptation on his part to mess around. Shawn knows he still getting clean from his drug use (you guys have no idea how GREAT hes doing!! A guy on the bus the other day offered Shawn pills & weed & Shawn turned him down without a second thought!!!!). Shawns old friends & brother offered him pot & he turned them down too! Shawn fount pot in the basement & was angry that it was in the house.. I know its not 100% over, but just seeing how Shawn is dealing with it (as a bad thing) is wonderful!

Smoking doesn't change his personality, but drugs & drinking does, so those had to go asap.
He carries the heavy groceries, rushes to the store to pick up something we forgot & always tries to puts me first! Hes scared of the rats, but tries to hold them cause I like them. However hes far too scared of the turtle & wont touch him at all lol
