[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 92671, member: 1545"] It has been our experience (with brother in law) that he is truly repentant in jail/prison. His letters were full of remorse, apologies and his plan to do better once he got out. I honestly believe he is remorseful. Nobody wants to kick his habit worse than he does. However - It is easy to be sorry when you're incarcerated. [b]The true challenge and test comes when the addict gets out. [/b] It is good that you still love him with all of your heart. But, it is also good that you are recognizing that you can't do this anymore either. As hard as the long jail sentence must be ... let us pray that your son will use the time to consider where his life was/is ... and use that toward a better life when he is released. We are all pulling for you and for him. [/QUOTE]
