Since Mat completed his first 30 days he earned a day pass. We picked him up at 9:00 A.M. In 30 days he has put on 21 pounds. He definetly looks much better. I teased him that he has man boobs. Obviously the food in there is great and it helps that there are three chefs in the program that are constantly whipping up delectable meals and desserts.
We came home so Mat could see it for the last time. In the afternoon we went to see "Iron Man II". On the way back home from the movie Mat said he was feeling 'anxious'. I talked about grilling chicken for dinner then maybe kicking back for an evening movie before we had to get him back by 10:00 P.M. A short while later Mat said that if we did'nt mind he'd like to go back right after dinner. He was feeling a little overwhelmed. When we took him back about 7:00 we met several of his new friends, hugged and said our "I love yous" and we drove home.
I guess our home represents a lot of pain to Mat. He's not the only one.
Mat has made some good progress, but his journey to recovery is far from over. I pray every day that he will get healthy. Every single day.
