[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 748585, member: 15032"] I think if it works, we do it. I would definitely NOT think it would be good to do this for someone that has addiction issues. I know how hard we want to protect them, even if they are using. Yesterday on my way home from work I saw a young guy - probably early 20's walking down the highway barefoot and with no shirt on. He was fair skinned. This is southern Alabama and it was about 88 degrees when I was driving home. It tore at my heart because that could have been my son. I thought about how sunburned he will be and how much his feet must hurt because there were a lot of rocks and stones and I'm sure the pavement was very hot. I thought of pulling over not sure what I would do but then I thought about it and that maybe he had a family or mothers somewhere that had been trying to help him. Maybe this was what he needed to reach his rock bottom. I said a prayer for him that it was and that he would be helped. Sometimes our helping is enabling and prolonging the bad behavior. [/QUOTE]
