[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 716494, member: 13303"] Regarding your son being able to abstain for long periods of time, this is a characteristic of a binge user. My brother is a binge user too. He also went months without drinking then bam, off the rails. Until he found recovery he was still an active addict, the substance controlled his actions. It is still addiction and the spiral downward is the same in both cases from my experience. Yes, it is confusing to those of us who expect that a "true" addict would have to use each day. [/QUOTE]
