[QUOTE="startingfresh, post: 750266, member: 22380"] Hi Copa, Yes, I agree with you on so many things here. Things need to change and its up to him. I feel exactly as you do, that I need to stand for something. To stand for the the type of life he should be living and the healthy person that he can be if he works at it. And right now standing for that, means nagging and nagging and I don't want to be doing that anymore. I am exhausted and plain tired of this back and forth. The only option I can see is to help him get somewhere else to live. He has always kind of lived in this spot. The spot of not being quite enough of a problem to get help. In school, he needed help but squeaked by with ok grades and was never a behavior problem so he fell through the cracks. And now as a 20 year old, he for certain is using substances to self medicate but does it now in bits and spurts, gets into himself into a mess but somehow recovers. I am encouraged by the progress he has made but it is soo sooo slow. Just ready for next step. I will look again into job corps and sober living. I remember you recommended it before and had good things to say about the program. Thank you for your advice!! [/QUOTE]
