[QUOTE="OTE, post: 739469"] I never had any money to pay for anything. I'm also a firm believer in tough love so wouldn't give mine anything but names and phone numbers of places to get help if he needed something. So I can't relate to some of what you're feeling. But mine has been in sober living. There are more than a dozen in my relatively small town. All non profits. Perhaps because mine has been down and back this road so many times I would have a concern about forcing him into something he doesn't want. These places have rules that they enforce. A necessity. But they won"t take him if he doesn't voluntarily go. They will take them back after a relapse if he agrees to go. But they will ban him from ever returning under certain circumstances. So burning bridges is a concern. He could decide to respond to your pressure by doing something that gets him permanently banned. In the long run then forcing him may not be the best plan. [/QUOTE]
