[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 721620, member: 1550"] Remember...no guarantees, but I made our daughter leave and shortly after she decided to quit meth and cocaine. She did it without rehab. Addicts dont get better when we are too nice. It isnt like any other illness. The more we nurture, understand and pity, the worse they tend to do, plus they tend to steal, cuss at us, lie...do criminal stuff under our roof. Its easier if we make it easier. To quit they have to hate being an addict...in my opinion its msndatory to make addiction as uncomfortable for them as possible. My daughter was nineteen. I believe the earlier we make it hard for them, the betterit is. It is easier to undo something if they have been at it a shorter time. Somebody at this for five years is in my opinion more able to learn how to function sober than one who is 30 and hasbeen at this for fifteen years. Obviously I feel you are helping your son, as he is still young. Nothing good is happening the way things are. Stay strong. [/QUOTE]
