I missed the call but sent a text letting him know that it was a wrong number so he didn't think his family was ignoring him. I may have also launched into an "I'm proud of you" ramble, which I know is weird for a stranger. It was a long ass paragraph of text, but this man deserves applause

Stating that you are proud of him is a good thing

Fucking beautiful! And I’m a believer that it isn’t weird to tell a stranger you’re proud of them, spreading love and hope ain’t weird! Keep being a champion

Uhm it's possible that that was not his phone but one provided for them to use. And they could have punched in a random number to make it look like they were fulfilling a task at rehab. There's a story here but I don't want to get into it

Saw the update, please ignore this. Although this could still be true in other situations.

I had one like that a few years ago. Texted my house number to tell me he was out of rehab and cleaned up and apologizing to folks he hurt. I told him it was the wrong number, but this random stranger is proud of his ass anyway!

Good on both of you.

De he call from rehab? Because those are usually landlines they have in there.
EmeraldLight
He did, but the message said he was using a friend's phone and his friend let him text at times. The friend responded when I texted and said thank you

I usually ignore wrong number voicemails but did call one person back because they were calling about someone they hadn't had contact with for like 2 weeks

It may not have been a cell phone.

OK! Glad to hear it

Having a total stranger offer you kindness is the sort of uplift that sticks with you. I hope your pillow is always cool on both sides

I hope you always plug in cables right the first time!
