[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 720168, member: 1550"] LBL, my daughter was only just 19, immature, and a girl. I was terrified. She had somewhere to go, but if she had so much as lit one cigarette, Goneboy would have thrown her out. He had no patience...you followed his rules in his house or you were gone that fast. My daughter had no track record for following rules so I thought she would end up homeless in winter in Chicago. I was afraid though that if we did nothing she would get older and still be using so we prayed. She amazed us by quitting. We didnt expet her to. She was using cocaine, meth, speed of other kinds, psychodelics, had even smoked heroin but she quit. She told us it would not have happened if we had not made it so miserable to use. Sometimes, yes, they are so young we feel its too soon...but then suddenly they are 25 and still on drugs and we wished we'd have come down hard when they were younger. What good is letting things go on like this? Maybe putting him on his own will get him tired of using. Maybe he will go to rehab. If you take no action, neither will he. Sometimes we have to close our eyes and do it when they are young so that they are not maybe still doing this when they are thirty. Then its much harder. Wishing you the courage to do whatever you feel will help your son and yourself. Big hugs!! [/QUOTE]
