Hi Jenny, good to hear from you too!
I’m glad that your son is being in contact with you. Better than than no contact at all, you can see how he is then .
My son also has been in daily contact as he gets lonely too. He’s working from home atm, so doesn’t see anyone.
I agree lockdown is a good thing for people with addictions. My son had to cut himself off from seeing a lot of his longstanding friends as he doesn’t have an off switch when he drinks. Then that triggers the cocaine use. Total abstinence is the only thing that works for him. Its a shame really, they’re young men and going out for a drink is the norm for most young men. I’ve told him I’m proud of him and what he’s accomplished so far, and to be strong.
The drug tests sound like a good idea, I hope this situation works well for you and your family.
Thinking of you all
