G is for Goals

Ben is working on goals. His primary goal is to make it to 9 months sobriety. He is at 8.5. I'm not sure he will, but sometimes it seems like he's trying. He has a "home" for now, place to live and sleep unharmed and his next goal is to be registered in a Substance Abuse Outpatient Program. He has started the process, but he can't seem to finish with the last interview. I am trying to support without enabling. He is a friend and so are his parents.
