[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 742457, member: 15032"] Trying So sorry to hear this but you know that YOU cannot prevent HIS relapse. Don't we all wish that were possible? It's his journey and on him. It is good that you are talking to someone about this. I know that it helped me tremendously. Read my post on "what is addiction" on this forum that I copied but I think it is very good. It shows how much they care about us when they are using. The answer is: not at all. We are the means to and end. Let him feel the natural consequences of his choices. That is what we have to do as parents of an addict. It's hard and not normal but it is the only way that we can truly "help" them. If he does not do what he needs to do then he is not ready to be sober and that is on HIM. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
