[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 738838, member: 1550"] I personally think he was just playing you. He had addiction specialists in rehab and he left. I wonder if he remembers even saying that to you. He needs to detox before anyone can help him. The alcohol and weed would interfer with any medication. I believe a therapist would insist on rehab. He knows how to get help. He is an adult and this isnt his first rodeo. I wouldnt waste time trying to find anyone for him. His recent behavior shows no desire to quit. Words are cheap to an addict. If he really wants help there are places he knows he can go like AA and rehab. He needs more than weekly therapy and no medications can break through HIS medications of choice. I say these things not to hurt you, but because I went through it and still remember a decade later. Interesting that he researches medications that help but obviously hasnt done his homework on booze and how it can kill you and what it does to the liver and brain. My vote is that he is an adult. You no longer can make appointments for him. He has to do it and knows how and where and who. He needs to do this himself. Or not. Like all our adults. It is really in his hands and praying always helps me. If you believe,do pray. Go on with your life. I had to as I had two littles. It was gut wrenching. In our case my daughter quit. But it was many long nights not sleeping for me and lots of crying and many nights I had to sit on my hands not to bring her home. Its hard for us. We are in limbo. We are heartbroken. We are scared. The day is busy but the nights are long and somehow scary and lonely. But we can do nothing if the adult wont and they have to do it themselves or, as with RNs son, the adult is so fed up he is willing to go to rehab or lose us. But the bottom line is, only your son can make that decision. Love and light and I hurt for your sad heart .And I remember the whole nightmare and ai am very sorry anyone else must live it. [/QUOTE]
