[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 132456, member: 1233"] Hon, people using drugs can hide it very very well. some "normal" teen behaviors are very similar to drug using behaviors. I remember my mom asking how to tell what was drug/alcohol induced and what was part of being a teen. She later found out he started drinking before he became a teen, so none of it was "teen normal". But until HE admitted it, NOTHING anyone could say could convince her it was so. Sounds like you have a pretty good position with your boss to get support and help. I am glad for you. Be sure to check on what Mikey has, connections are everything. When we visited my bro's rehab (family day, and also his 1 and 2 year birthdays of being sober!! - so long ago, he is on year 6 or 7, still taking it one day at a time and working his program!) LOTS of people went outside to smoke. Drug/alcohol user/abusers frequently have other addictions. So the rehab might not let it smoke, but often they want to clear the illegal stuff out of the system first, and smoking is allowed because it is so hard to stop, esp when you are detoxing from other stuff.
