[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 754132, member: 18958"] I think it was the addiction that used again. I don't think the son you know and love made the choice. I think that's why the AA and NA people have the principle about powerlessness over the addictive substance. That really we have no power over an addiction. We will succumb and succumb until we have the tools to no longer do so. To the extent that your son consented, I agree with Busy, that either at first he had a drink which lowered his defenses, or else he gave himself an excuse to rationalize his use. He told himself, maybe, just this once. I don't think any consequence ever entered his head. That is the nature of addiction. I am so very sorry lovemyson. My heart, too, aches for you. And I think young people in general often don't think about consequences. [/QUOTE]
