He got another job too. He leaves here and goes to work at The Sonic. He says it's better to work all the time than to sit in jail. Gets back to the center about 11pm and back in our plant for starting at 7am. He's young he can handle it. I did those kind of things all the time when I was that age, 12-16 hours was normal. I loved that overtime.

Sounds like things are looking up. Glad to hear you remember the girls that you're a Dad to too!
A second job is a good thing......... keeps one busy (remember the old saying about idle hands?)

You're darn right he can handle it! Wear 'em out, it's a good as strategy as any Dad.
I'm with Lou. The busier he stays the better!
Thanks for lifting my family up with your post That's good that you son has structure in his life. It will keep him busy. My son is trying to get a second job, but they don't come easily. I think of your family every morning, as I pray for ur kids.

i love it, i hope he continues keeping busy and appreciating you.
And for today, he has been graced with sobriety. There is much to be grateful for.
I've always heard when I got busy I got better. Hope that is his mantra too.
This is great news and you deserve good news! I'm always following your blog and keeping all of you in my prayers. I hope Alex is feeling pride in his hard work and seeing that there is more to life than drugs.
I really appreciate your support, Mom & Dad. You have your own worries and struggles, yet you reach out and take others (me!) under your wing and I can't thank you enough. A very selfless act on your part.
Please just know that you ARE helping others,

My brother just got out of prison and I am holding my breath that he behaves. He is in Montana and I don't hear from him much. He has hepatitis c from using drugs.
