[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 738680, member: 15801"] Detoxing from alcohol is more dangerous than detoxing from heroin... so yes if he needs to detox he should be under medical supervision and you absolutely should not have that responsibility. It does sound like he is playing you. I am not sure why you want to break all ties with him? Can you really do this. I know it sounds good in the moment I have felt that way at times with my son......but is it realistic for you? It is probably not the best thing for him. I know others do not necessarily share my opinion. My feeling is that addicts have a mental disorder and that includes despair, self loathing and sometimes what they need is to know they are loved. Our stand with our son has been for a long time we will help you when you are helping yourself. So we have let him be homeless, he has been on the streets, we have let him sit in jail and not bailed hiim out. So I totally agree with not rescuing him..... but we have always let him know we love him and are there for him. When he has been in a place where he has wanted help we help him. Sometimes I think the love of his parents is the only reason he is still alive.... Thinking of you today, TL [/QUOTE]
